The first inning was kind to the Bears as they started the game off right. Devin Whittekiend worked around a two-out walk to Evan Bean by getting Marcus Carbajal on a ground out to short to end the top half of the inning. The Bears struck first in the bottom half of the inning as Whittekiend blasted a two-run homer to give the Bears an early 2-0 lead.

“I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.“
