Cubs win the World Series

CHICAGO | The Chicago Cubs have won the World Series!

Utility man Ben Zobrist hit an RBI double, and catcher Miguel Montero added an RBI single in the top of the 10th inning to put the Cubs in front 8-6 in a gut-wrenching game for Cubs fans.

The Cubs ended their 108-year World Series drought with an 8-7 win in game seven of the World Series against the Cleveland Indians in a game that saw a rain delay and extra innings.

The Cubs had a 6-3 lead heading into the eighth inning with starting pitcher Jon Lester on the mound when Indians second baseman Jose Ramirez hit an infield single.
