[QUOTE="champaignchris, post: 1542368, member: 26283"] 36th anniversary of the "Sandberg Game," which would have gone down as the "Willie McGee Game" had things gone a little differently. McGee went 4 for 6 with 6 RBI and hit for the cycle. Sutter pitched 3.1 innings and gave up 3 ERs and of course the 2 HRs to Sandberg. For the rest of the season, he only gave up 18 ERs and 7 HRs over 119.1 innings. He was third place in the Cy Young vote behind Sutcliffe (16-1, 2.69 ERA) and Gooden (17-9, 2.60 ERA). So it wasn't just that Sandberg went 5 for 6 with 2 HRS and 7 RBI on national television. It was that he got to Sutter during a year where no one was getting to Sutter. Unsung hero: Rich Bordi. After Trout got run off the mound in only 1.1 innings, Bordi kept the Cubs in the game with 3.2 innings of 2-hit ball. Bordi was a solid long reliever/swing man all season for the Cubs, putting up a 3.46 ERA over 83.1 innings, 31 games and 7 starts, going 5-2 with 4 saves. This was the second win of a three game sweep for the Cubs over the Cards. It got them within a half game of first place. They were 35-31 and had lost 6 out of 7 heading into the series and went 61-34 the remainder of the way, winning the division by 6.5 games. [/QUOTE]
