Run Fontenot Run!

On a gorgeous Sunday afternoon, we went to see the last game of the Cubs - Marlins series. The last but not least adage holds true here. The excitement started after the 7th inning stretch when Derek Lee hit a homerun to tie the game. Then Fontenot followed with a three-run double to give the Cubs the lead and sent the already frenzied crowd through the roof with excitement. Fontenot continued his crowd pleasing moments with one of the best run down plays in MLB history, according to Pat Hughes. He actually out ran the rundown. It was the little guy that could. At the top of the ninth, Edmonds ended the game with an amazingly acrobatic catch. I am not sure if I was more impressed that he made the catch or that he was able to get up after the catch. Cubs win over the Marlins 9-6.
