Whether you’re a diehard baseball fans or someone who could really care less for the sport, no one could have possibly been left unamused by last night's Game 7 World Series spectacle. The matchup featured the Chicago Cubs and Cleveland Indians, two teams that were aiming to make history in what will be remembered as one of the greatest championship battles in modern baseball history. Prior to the game's outcome, both teams had endured a long time without a championship, the Indians for 68 seasons and the Cubs for an astoundingly heartbreaking 108-years. That over a century drought finally ended in an epic fashion last night. <\/p>\n
After losing three of the first four games against the Indians, the Cubs were tasked with the nearly impossible task of winning three games in a row, two of which would be in Cleveland. After clawing victory from the jaws of defeat in Game 5 and 6, the stage was set for an epic final game, and epic it surely was. The Cubs started the game off on the right foot, getting an early 4-1 lead that was kicked off by a leadoff home run by Dexter Fowler. All in all, the Cubbies drove in six runs against two of the Indians’ best pitchers, their ace Corey Kluber and reliever Andrew Miller, both of which have only given up four runs together all postseason. <\/p>\n
But the opposing team fought back tooth and nail to stay in the game, capitalizing on a wild pitch by Cubs pitcher Jon Lester that allowed two Indians to score, cutting the score to 5-3. From there, the Cubs 39-year-old catcher David Ross, who was playing in the last game of his career, hit a solo shot to make it a 6-3 game. After bringing in their powerhouse closer Aroldis Chapman into the seventh inning with a three run lead, the Cubs seemed poised for a major championship win, but the Indians would not go down without a fight. After cutting the lead to two, Indians veteran Rajai Davis belted a two-run homer off of Chapman, tying the game at 6-6. <\/p>\n
