However, the Chicago Cubs had different plans. The team came alive in the top of the ninth inning to score four runs and take a 6-5 lead. The rally stunned the fans at AT&T Park. The Giants had won 10 straight elimination games, in recent years.
Aroldis Chapman, the flame-thrower, came in and fanned three Giants’ batters to send the Cubs on to NLCS for the second consecutive year.
It was a roaring way to end this series and it showed that this Cubs team has something special in them. “We don’t quit,” manager Joe Maddon said at a post-game press conference.
