The Cubs played “at” the Pirates in a neutral-site game at the Little League Classic in Williamsport, PA. Both teams wore special uniforms with their Player’s Weekend nicknames and commemorative patches, but it was the Cubs who took advantage of the outfield wall to knock in the runs necessary to fly the W. At least proverbially.
Scoring opened in the top of the 1st, with Nicholas Castellanos knocking yet another solo home run. The top of the order continued to do damage with Jason Heyward‘s home run in the top of the 3rd to put the Cubs up 2-0.
