Walk Off Walk Nets Cubs Win Over Brewers

CHICAGO (AP) - Jake Fox drew a bases-loaded walk off Mike
DiFelice to force in the winning run with two outs in the 10th
inning Friday, and the Chicago Cubs beat the Milwaukee Brewers 2-1.
Ryan Theriot singled off second baseman Craig Counsell's glove
with one out in the 10th and went to second on a wild pitch from
DiFelice (4-1). After Theriot moved up on a fly ball, the Brewers
intentionally walked Milton Bradley. With a 3-0 count on
pinch-hitter Geovany Soto, DeFelice also walked him intentionally
to load the bases.
Fox fouled off four straight pitches before walking on a close
3-2 pitch that had DiFelice extending his arms and walking toward
plate umpire Bill Welke as the Cubs celebrated.
The Brewers threatened in the ninth when Cubs right fielder
Milton Bradley lost Jason Kendall's high fly in the sun - the ball
hit him on the right arm - and fell for a double. Kevin Gregg (3-2)
hit Counsell with a pitch, but Ryan Braun popped out to end the
inning.
