No-Hit Outing

The Cubs staff just finished pitching its ninth inning of the game against the Athletics. They did not allow a hit, but the score is tied at 0. Chicago needs a run here to make the combined no-no hold up.

Update: Strong leads off the ninth with a double for the Cubs.

Update: A bunt and an intentional walk put runners at 1st and 3rd with one out.

Update: Another intentional walk loads the bases.

Update: For some reason, WGN isn't fonting the minor league players batting for the Cubs this inning. I believe Brandon Taylor is up with the bases loaded.

Update: Taylor grounds to third, forcing the runner at home.

Update: Rojas grounds into a force play to end the inning. The Cubs will try to keep the no-hitter going in extra innings.

Update: With two out in the 10th, the Athletics get their first hit of the game, a single to center.

Update: Cubs win in the bottom of the 10th. Brandon Sing hit the ball over the leftfielder's head to drive in the winning run from first. It was an impressive hit since the bat broke and the ball still reached the outfield wall.

Sing is a BP-fave....light-tower power, walks a lot, but that's about it. You gotta have some serious power to hit a broken-bat ball off the leftfield wall though.
