Chicago took a 4-3 lead in the series yesterday when pitcher Erwin Monson pitched a fabulous game that almost got away from him.

Through eight innings, Monson had only given up one hit. But in the 9th, a few singles, a passed ball, a double, and two walks culminated in a 3-2 game with 2 outs and the bases loaded for Clayton Parkhurst, a pinch hitter. On the second pitch, he hit a hard grounder right at the shortstop and was thrown out at 1st to end the game.

Today, Chicago can clinch the 1915 Presidents Cup with a win.
