 One strike on Carpenter. He found that one off his foot. As the great Mike Shannon would love to say, Abner's at it again as Helsley will have the ninth, but he's going to have two, three, four in the Cubs lineup. So it will not be an easy trip through the top of the ninth inning for him, so get that extra run here. Two runs in in the bottom of the eighth. The Cardinals lead by one, five to four. Trying to sweep a doubleheader from the Cubs.
