CHICAGO | Thousands of longtime, loyal Chicago Cubs fans packed the friendly confines of Wrigley Field, and even more crowded the streets of Wrigleyville, to witness a piece of history Saturday night.
The Cubs defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-0 in game six to win the National League Championship Series 4-2 and will advance to their first World Series in 71 years.
The Cubs’ offense got the best of Dodgers’ ace Clayton Kershaw early in game six of the NLCS, as he gave up two runs in the top of the first inning. After eventually giving up a 5-0 lead, Kershaw was pulled after six innings.
