  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E
St. Louis Cardinals (38-51) 0 1 0 0 3 0 0 0 0 4 15 2

Cardinals Popped by Cubs, 8-4
Led by Ron Hicks, the Chicago Cubs downed the St. Louis Cardinals, 8-4. Hicks went 3-5 with a home run and 2 singles, while scoring 3 runs and driving in 2 for the Cubs. Jon Hall, now 7-5, picked up the win in relief. He allowed no runs on 2 hits in 2 innings. By defeating St. Louis, the 4th-place Cubs improved to 41-49.

Had Kevin Wilson not delivered a key base hit in the bottom of the seventh, the outcome might have been different. Instead, with two down and runners on 2nd and 3rd, Wilson hit a 2-run single. That made the score 6-4, in favor of the Cubs.

Wilson told the Chicago Observer: "I was born for the big stage."
