Victory Tastes Sweet!
What a game by our beloved Chicago Cubs! Starting off strong in the first inning, thanks to a sacrifice fly by Pete Crow-Armstrong that brought Michael Busch home, we took an early 1-0 lead.
The energy was palpable from the get-go, and even though the Braves managed to get a score in the third, our defense held strong to keep them at bay for most of the game. 
Consistent Defense and Key Moments
Our pitchers were lights out! From early groundouts and strikeouts of key Braves players like Matt Olson and Ozzie Albies, to fantastic fieldwork—our boys were on fire! Pete Crow-Armstrong, again, came through with a crucial single in the third inning, allowing Ian Happ to score!
With support from Nico Hoerner's solid batting, our lead doubled. The Braves tried to amp up the pressure, but they just couldn’t break through our wall of defense.The Eighth Inning Explosion
The eighth inning truly sealed the deal for us.
Seiya Suzuki managed to ground out, but it was Pete Crow-Armstrong again setting the stage with a steal, followed by a cascade of tactical plays. Dansby Swanson took advantage of a bases-loaded walk to bring home Pete Crow-Armstrong. The highlight was Matt Shaw with a clutch single and a little help from a Braves fielding error, which added three more lucky runs. Suddenly, it was 6-1! 
Lockdown in the Ninth
With Cody Brown on the mound, our bullpen dug deep, wrapping up the ninth inning with unyielding precision. We struck out Ozzie Albies and Ha-Seong Kim, securing the win and sending Cubs fans everywhere into a frenzy of celebration. This 6-1 victory was well-earned, a true showcase of teamwork and relentless determination. Cheers to the Cubs! Here’s to many more wins!
