Another series of late game heroics led to a comeback win over the division rival Cubs\, 13-12. After surrendering leads of 5-0 and 7-5\, the club entered the final frame down 12-7\, only to plate six r uns on five hits to earn the victory. Righthander Mark Thacker made his s econd start of the season and rebounded from a tough opening day outing to toss two scoreless innings. Thacker was dominant\, facing one over the m inimum\, with no walks and three punch-outs. The A'\;s put five first -inning runs on the board in support of Thacker. 'Big Daddy' Kain Fuller s tarted things off with a walk\, Charles 'Cee-Lo' Lopez and Andrew 'A-Trai n' Hughes singled to load the bases. With one out\, Jose 'J-Swagga' Playe r delivered an RBI single\, and Thacker helped his own cause with a run-sc oring single. Jackson Sims followed with a walk\, and Christian 'CJ' Johns on continued his hot hitting with a RBI single that scored Thacker. The Cu bs would rally in the third against the A'\;s bullpen\, scoring five r uns\, but the A'\;s answered with two in the bottom half to reclaim th e lead. The Cubs responded with a seven-run fourth to take a seemingly com manding 12-7 lead into the final frame. But the A'\;s refused to go aw ay. Garrett 'G-Row' Rowell started the rally with a lead-off single\, stol e second\, and advanced to third on a wild pitch. With one out\, Lopez del ivered an RBI grounder and reached on an error. Hughes then reached on ano ther Cubs miscue\, allowing Lopez to score\, and Stearne Pope plated Hughe s with his second hit of the day. With the deficit cut to 12-10\, Pope sto le third and later scored when Player sent a roller towards first and won the race to the bag for an RBI infield hit. Player swiped second\, setting the stage for Thacker. who hit a grounder to first\, hustled down the lin e and forced another error by the Cubs. Player scored his third run of the day on the play\, tying the game at 12. Thacker would also take second ba se\, placing him in scoring position with Sims coming to the dish. Sims le gged out an infield hit\, with Thacker advancing to third. Travis Patrick stepped in\, battled his way to a seven-pitch at bat\, striking out swingi ng. When the catcher muffed the ball\, he hustled to first base\, forcing an errant throw which sent Thacker home with the winning run. Player\, who entered the game in relief of Joey 'Gator' Mathis in the fourth\, earned the win\, his first of the season. Mathis celebrated his birthday by maki ng his season and career debut on the hill. The club got multi-hit games f rom Johnson\, Lopez\, Player\, Pope\, and Sims\, with two RBI from Player and Thacker. Sims had a game and career high three knocked in. Hughes\, Pl ayer\, Pope \, Thacker and Lopez all scored at least twice apiece\, with F uller and Rowell adding single tallies. The A'\;s (2-3) are off for Ea ster weekend and return to action next week with a Tuesday tilt against th e Phillies. \n\nCubs: No information available.
