Birmingham Beaten, 9-5, by Wandering
Ernie Banks impressed in the 9-5 Wandering win over Birmingham. Banks, who finished 5th in the NL in slugging percentage with .653 last year, was 1-6 with a home run and a walk. He scored 2 times and drove in 4. Karl Spooner picked up the win in relief, improving his record to 2-0. Slim Embrey, who was drafted in the 3rd round of the 2000 draft, was tagged with the loss. The Black Barons fall to 8-17 and continue their lackluster start in 2002.

The decisive blow was delivered by Anthony Rizzo in the bottom of the 16th when he hit a grand slam home run off 23-year old right-handed pitcher Slim Embrey to win the game for Wandering. The home crowd went nuts.

"When their pitchers are leaving stuff over the heart of the plate, we're not missing it," said Wandering manager Daniel Makonnen.
