Win:Gonzalez(2-2) Loss:Hitchcock(2-4)
Homeruns- R.Sandberg(2nd)

Chicago (NL) fans certainly got their money's worth at Wrigley Field.  Jeremi Gonzalez(2-2) pitched a rare no-hitter as the Chicago (NL) Cubs toppled the San Diego Padres 6 to 0.

Gonzalez was spectacular. He walked 2 San Diego batters. The tension started to build around the 6th inning.  By the 9th inning the crowd was electrified.  Several hot Cubbie girls showed titties before the start of the ninth.  Chicago (NL) rapped out 8 hits for the afternoon. 

Sterling Hitchcock(2-4) was the loser.  He gave up 2 runs and 4 hits in 5 innings.  After the game, Gonzalez was heard to say, 'This is something I have dreamt about since I was a little boy - to have it come true is just amazing!'


Gonzalez's final line: (W) 9.0 IP, 0 H, 0 R, 0 ER, 2 BB, 8K.


Jeremi Gonzalez was killed May, 25 2008 in a lightning strike.  What are the odds of pitching a no hitter and getting hit by lighting?
