The Chicago Docs overcame 7 errors, topping the Houston Hoots in the 10th inning with a walk-off double by Keith Hernandez. Cole Hamels had one bad inning, allowing 5 runs in the 4th, most thanks to a bases-loaded double by Rogers Hornsby. Down 6-0, Chicago struck back against Pete Alexander, with Joey Votto and Sammy Sosa hitting back-to-back solo homers in the bottom of the 4th. The Docs then put up 7 straight base hits with 2 outs in the 5th to take an 8-6 lead. Sloppy play nearly cost Chicago, who made an error in each of the last 5 innings, but only led to two unearned runs. While Jim Edmonds made one of those errors, he also completed two flyball double-plays, throwing out runners to end the 6th and 7th innings. Billy Wagner couldn’t complete the save in the 9th, allowing one of those earned runs on an Eddie Mathews single that tied the game in the 9th. But facing Jesse Haines, Hernandez ended it with his double with two men on. Houston and Chicago are now tied for 1st in the National League at 7-5. Sosa finished 3 for 5 with a homer, double, and 2 RBI. Buster Posey was 4 for 5 to increase his average to .370. Dave Bancroft went 4 for 5 in the losing effort.
