*This win would mark the beginning of the end for the '05 Overachievers - the start of a 3-match sweep of the Cubs at Wrigley, the last series they would win till 2nd/3rd/4th August when they took two of three from the Dodgers...it would all end with that disastrous home series against the Mets (lost 3 of 4) beginning with the 5-2 loss on the Fourth of July.
