The Cubs hitting is contagious. One hit begets another hit and so on. Was there anything more thrilling than seeing Hayward (much maligned Hayward who is having a career renaissance this season) chugging around 3rd and rumbling into home for the first run? Then to see "role players" getting hit after hit?
It goes to show you that if you keep putting wood on the ball, it eventually pays off. 3 true outcomes be damned!
Also, talking about helping your own cause. Q picked off Bell in the 4th and PLUS defended a great squeeze bunt play. Some of the best defense by a pitcher I have seen in awhile. AND he was the first starter this season to go into the 7th (a dubious stat but still).
The Cubs grinded hard on this game and it paid off. The take the meatloaf on the series, took the series and proved they could win a tight game. Not too bad!
