[CubColtPacer]

Dye singles to RF.

Mateo hitting 96.

 

Now 99.

 

Don't know how good the gun is, but Mateo looks like he's doing a Marmol impression despite giving up the single.

[CubColtPacer]

Konerko sneaks a grounder through the hole between short and third. 1st and 2nd, no outs.

[CubColtPacer]

A bouncer to first by Betemit.

 

Both runners move up, 2nd and 3rd 1 man out.

 

Mateo has a nice breaking ball at times and has a pretty nice fastball, but he seems to have problems with finishing hitters off.

[CubColtPacer]

Broussard strikes out looking on a tailing fastball on the high edge of the strike zone.

 

2 outs, still 2nd and 3rd.

 

And now Kroeger singles to CF on the first pitch scoring 2.
