Second baseman Glenn Beckert had 5 hits and 6 RBI as the Chicago Cubs
outscored the struggling Philadelphia Phillies 12 to 6.
 
The home town fans were very appreciative of the fine hitting performance
provided by Beckert.  He lined a one-base hit which scored a run in the 1st
inning, doubled in the 4th inning, lined a single scoring a run in the 5th
inning, doubled plating two runs in the 7th inning and ripped a base-hit
knocking in a run in the 8th inning.  Offensively, Chicago was a juggernaut.
They scored in 6 separate innings.  
 
The winning pitcher was Ray Burris(1-0) who allowed no runs in 4 and 1/3
innings. Barry Lersch(1-4) ended up with the loss in relief.  Chicago scored
big getting 4 runs off him in 2 and 1/3 innings.  
 
'I just got in the box, looked for a pitch and swung,' Beckert said.  'That's
it'
