Day–Night Doubleheader Game 1: Cardinals at Cubs

The day began with a plan to attend both games of a day-night doubleheader. The first game of the day was the makeup game from the April 19th rain out between the Cubs and Cardinals. The second game was the regularly scheduled Sunday Night Baseball game on ESPN.

Pre Game Dining
Before the game we went to the Full Schilling. Full Schilling sells 24 ounce beers for $6 (and you get a free hot dog if you order one order before or after the Cubs game).

The Game
Carlos Zambrano hit his 3rd home run of the season and earned the win in the Cubs 7-3 victory. Albert Pujols, who always seems to play well against the Cubs, committed a key two-run error in the seventh inning.

Post Game
After the game I suggested to my friends that we go to The Stretch (the same place we went before Saturday’s game). With $2 Old Styles I did not have to do much convincing.

Before my friend took the train back to Evanston, he wanted to hit up one more bar. For the first time, I went to The Dugout Sports Bar & Grill, which is a bar I’ve walked by many times but never went into. The Dugout has beer pong in the back room and was more crowded than I would have expected.
