The Chicago Cubs did something they have never done on the South Side of Chicago. They had never swept the White Sox at US Ceullar Field until today. The Cubs swept the White Sox on the South Side of Chicago tonight, defeating the White Sox 3-0. Sean Marshall pitched masterfully for the Cubs, allowing only five hits in 6 and 1/3 innings. Alfonso Soriano was the hero of the game and the series. He had leadoff homeruns on Friday and Saturday in the first inning. On Sunday he threw out a runner at home plate in the fifth inning, and then homered in the seventh inning to make it 2-0 Cubs. The White Sox thought they had a double play on a bizarre play in the eighth, but the umpires conferred and ruled that a Cubs baserunner had been interfered with. That loaded the bases and the Cubs added another run, thereby putting away the game. The Cubs win 3-0 and sweep the White Sox at US Ceullar Field for the first time ever.
