Hank Cummings, who is a two-time All-Star, took Los Angeles hurler Randy Medved deep in the bottom of the fifth. His solo home run put the Bulls on top, 2-1. In all, Cummings had 1 single in addition to the home run, while going 2 for 3.

"We just try to have good at-bats, whether we're winning, losing, or tied," said Cummings.
