Late Rally by Cardinals Secures Win
The St. Louis Cardinals eked out a 5-4 win versus the Chicago Cubs at Busch Stadium. Nobody did more than center fielder Stan Javier, who captured player of the game honors. St. Louis reliever Randy Myers picked up the win, upping his record to 3-0. Frank DiPino was saddled with the loss. The Cardinals bumped their record to 72-50 with this latest triumph.

Dan Wilson had the critical at-bat for St. Louis. With two out in the bottom of the ninth inning, he hit a walk-off run-scoring single. It gave St. Louis the 5-4 walk-off win.

"Both teams played hard," said St. Louis manager Adam Rabel.
