What started as a game to forget became the ultimate game to remember.
The Cubs trailed the visiting Atlanta Braves by eight runs on two separate occasions during Saturday's freezing-cold, rain-soaked afternoon contest, once 9-1 and then 10-2. But thanks to a crazy, nine-run bottom of the eighth, they erased that gap and then some.
With the score at 10-5 entering the bottom of the eighth, two hit batters and a base hit loaded the bases with two outs before Willson Contreras tapped a ball that beat out for a run-scoring infield single.
