It was cold and there were even periodic snow flurries during the game. A 39 year-old Greg Maddux showed he could still pitch at a high level, but he got the no decision. The day was capped by a LaTroy Hawkins special in the 9th. The Cubs closer allowed the tying and go ahead runs to score as the Pirates won 4-3.
