Geovany Soto hit a sacrafice fly to right field with the bases loaded and one out in the ninth inning to tie the game.

Now that was a great comeback for the Cubs as they swept the Dodgers in the three game series.
Starting pitcher Carlos Zambrano got a no decision on the game. Zambrano was a little wild but did pitch eight innings. He allowed six hits, one run, four walks, and struckout three batters.
