April 9, 1972. Chicago Cubs 12, Montreal 4

The Cubs found a whooping stick today in Montreal and used it to batter the Expos and their pitching staff 12-4.  This game was never in doubt after the Cubs put up 4 in the first and 2 in the second off Expo starter Ernie McAnally.  Burt Hooton held the Expos in check during his first 8 innings, but the Expos broke through for 4 off him in the 9th, when it was too late to matter.

The Cubs' 16-hit attack was led by 3 hits from Jose Cardenal, Sweet Swinging Billy Williams and homers from Cardenal, Ron Santo and Joe Pepitone.  

The Cubs have a day off tomorrow to travel home and host Pittsburgh and Philadelphia in a 6 game homestand.  The Expos will shake this one off on the flight to Philadelphia where they start a series against the Phillies tomorrow.

Cubs Drop Expos, 12-4 The Chicago Cubs beat the Montreal Expos, 12-4, at Jarry Park 1969-1976. Jose Cardenal, in particular, was impressive. He went 3 for 5 with a home run and a double, while scoring 2 and driving in 2. Burt Hooton, the winning pitcher, is now 1-0. He went 8.1 innings, allowing 4 runs on 4 hits, while fanning 3 and walking 4. The win has Chicago at 2-1. Chicago relied on the bat of Joe Pepitone to get the win. The first baseman ripped a run-scoring double in the top of the first inning to put the Cubs ahead, 2-0. For the game, Pepitone had 1 double and 1 home run in 5 at-bats. "Good to get a win," said Pepitone, "but it's a long season."
