The ball hit Cubs first baseman Cody Bellinger’s mitt, and second baseman Nico Hoerner brandished his fist in celebration.
On their way to a 3-2 win, the Cubs had just turned a seamless double play to move one out away from a series victory against the Brewers.
“It was a huge play,” Bellinger said after the game. “... It was a hard hit ball, and Nico just made it really easy on a good throw, and Dansby as well with the turn. Really good play.”
The Cubs had little margin for error in a three-game series against the Brewers this week.
