Williams Slump Hits Cubs in Tight NL Race
Chicago fans watch Billy Williams struggle as the Cubs fall toward .500. Once a front runner for a .400 season, Williams has slumped to .346 with 20 hits in 89 at bats. The Cubs hope a big day at the plate reverses a two game slide at Cincinnati, while Larry Jackson faces Joey Jay as part of the series finale. Meanwhile the White Sox end a drought with a 5-1 ten inning win over the Indians behind Jim Landis, Don Buford, and a 10th inning burst, with Hoyt Wilhelm getting the victory and Juan Pizarro set to start tonight against Jack Kravick.
