The home crowd had a good time watching the Cleveland Indians and Chicago Cubs get after it.

The Chicago Cubs downed the Cleveland Indians, 13-3. The hitting star was right fielder Kevin Norton. Norton went 3 for 5 with a home run and 2 doubles, while scoring 3 times and driving in 4 for the Cubs. The first-place Cubs have won 5 in a row.

Norton made an early impact for Chicago when he stroked his 2nd home run of the season. The grand slam home run, which came in the bottom of the second, put the Cubs on top, 6-1.

"This team is on a mission," said Norton, who is one of the clubhouse leaders. "I like our focus."
