Cubs prove unpatriotic on opening day

The Americans jumped out to a 2nd inning lead on some early season errors and a big hit by Alex Disenhof (2-2,rbi,bb).

The Cubs would scratch out just 3 runs over the 1st 7 innings as Americans Pitcher Tony Alestri (CG, 4k,1bb) was in command all day.

Down 2 entering the last inning, the Cubs forced home 4 runs. A leadoff error, was followed by 5 hits from the next 6 batters. The biggest from Alex Martinez (2-3,2 2b,r,rbi) & Mark Fahrner's (1-2,2b,rbi) game tying double.
