Starting Off Strong
The game started off as a pitcher's duel, with both teams looking for an edge. The silence was finally broken in the 3rd inning when Michael Busch rocketed one to center (411 feet!) to put the Cubs on the board. Watching this unfold, you could feel the momentum starting to shift, even with both teams' bats relatively quiet through the ninth inning.The Tense Turnaround
Just when it felt like victory was within a simple grasp, the Brewers managed to equalize in the bottom of the 9th inning, thanks to Willy Adames. That run set the heart rate of every Cubs fan skyrocketing, transitioning us into the depth of extra innings.Extra Innings Drama
Then came the 10th inning - a true test of resilience. The Cubs stepped up massively, with Seiya Suzuki, Cody Bellinger, and Ian Happ delivering critically needed hits to pull the Cubs ahead 6-1. Happ's double was particularly sweet, driving in two runs and essentially sealing the game. Despite the Brewers' late attempts to claw back, our Cubs showed their teeth and held firm.Closing Thoughts
