Here's how Corey did against the Chicago White Sox yesterday, June 26:

4 at bats
2 hits
2 runs
1 RBI
2 strikeouts

1 home run!

Corey Patterson hit a solo home run and a double to entertain the Cub fans among the sellout crowd of 39,553 at U.S. Cellular Field.

 

"Any time you have to face a new pitcher, you don't know what to expect," Patterson said. "They got their runs when they counted."

 

Patterson doubled to lead off the Cubs fourth and advanced on Moises Alou's groundout to Crede, who scooped up the ball on the run and threw from behind the mound in the defensive play of the game. Patterson then scored on Sammy Sosa's sacrifice fly.

 

Patterson, back in the No. 2 spot in the order, hit his ninth home run with two out in the Cubs fifth to make it 5-3.

 

Whew! Corey was sure mentioned a lot in the wrap on the Cubs website for this game! However, the Cubbies lost 6-3:(  At least Corey did his part to help the Cubs!
