In Commentary And Analysis by berselius99 Comments

Cubs 3, Cleveland 2 (World Series Game 5)

In Commentary And Analysis by berselius155 Comments

Rizzo also had a good day at the plate, knocking in Fowler in the first and doubling to lead off the sixth as one of the Cubs roughly 891 runners stranded …
