Wow, what a start for our Cubs!

As if that wasn't enough, Dansby Swanson followed with his own shot to center! Before the A's even had a chance, we jumped to a 4-0 lead. Looks like our bats came ready to play!

We charged ahead in the fourth as Carson Kelly launched one to left and brought us to 5-1. The A's tried fighting back in the bottom fourth, scoring two more, but our rally was far from over.In the top of the fifth, the Cubs took control once again. With bases loaded, Kelly's single pushed across two runs. An error by the A's first baseman allowed Matt Shaw to score, while Busch kept things rolling, adding two more with a single to left. Before long, we were sitting comfortably at 10-3. The Cubs were relentlessly piling it on!
