Breaking up a scoreless duel, Jose Cardenal squeezed a run home in the 11th inning to bring the Cubs a 1-0 victory over the Giants. George Mitterwaid doubled to open the stanza and Mick Kelleher ran for him. After Greg Gross sacrificed, both Ivan DeJesus and Larry Biittner were passed intentionally to load the bases before Cardenal laid down his winning bunt. [The Sporting News]
