Frye got the first down during the drive then carried for three more yards and planted the ball on the 34. Big John New bulled his way to another first down and it looked as though the Cubs were getting somewhere.

Gerstmeyer received possession of the ball once more on their own 31. The Cubs had made their biggest show of the night.
