Former Penn baseball great Doug Glanville recorded the first home run of his major league career last night. Glanville, an outfielder with the Chicago Cubs, hit a solo shot off of Montreal starter Jeff Fassero with two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning. The 1991 Penn grad earned a month-long call-up with the Cubs in June, but was sent down after hitting just .242 in 28 games. With major league rosters expanding in September, Glanville was rescued from AAA Iowa for a second time.
