2016 Senior League Division Series: Game 3, Cubs @ Giants

This game was notable because it was the first time since 1924 that a Reliever hit a Post Season Home Run. Travis Wood also got the win after Kyle Hendricks left in the 4th with a Line Drive bruise. Also Madison Bumgarner made an appearence as a Pinch Hitter in the 5th and reached on an Error and advanced on another.

Saturday’s Game

Bottom 1st- Leadoff Double. RBI Single. Cubs 1 – 0.

Bottom 2nd- Leadoff Double. Walk. Single, Loaded. 2 RBI Single. Cubs 3 – 0. Sacrifice. RBI Single. Cubs 4 – 0.

Top 3rd- Leadoff Double. RBI Double. Sacrifice. RBI Sacrifice. Cubs 4 – 2.

Bottom 4th- Solo Shot. Cubs 5 – 2 Final.

Cubs lead Series 2 – 0

The Cubs (106 – 58) could close this out tonight, but that’s unlikely. The Giants (88 – 76) are sending Madison Bumgarner (L, 15 – 9, 2.74 ERA) to the Mound and as good as he looks in the Regular Season this is what he did to my Metropolitans in the Wild Card Game- 9 IP, 4 H, 2 BB, 6 K.

0.00 ERA

I don’t think the Cubs can beat that, with or without Jake Arrieta (R, 18 – 8, 3.10 ERA) who ain’t so bad.

Things do not look equally good tomorrow for the Giants when the Cubs’ Lackey hits the field.
