The Cubs scored one run in the first inning, and somehow it held up. “That felt like a playoff game,” manager David Ross said.
Steele battled early, getting out of jams and staying in the game after taking a“I don’t know if anybody has ever gotten dead-legged in school, someone puts a knee into your leg and you kind of limp around for a minute,” Steele said. “That’s kind of what it felt like when I initially put some weight on it.”He recovered and kept on going. He gave up a single and then got a double-play ball to get out of the second.
Every half-inning felt like it had a do-or-die moment or two. But no one could score. The players felt the tension on the field. “How the game felt in the fourth was kind of like what a normal game feels like in the seventh,” Hoerner said. “Everything was pushed up.” For instance, in the bottom of the fifth, the Cubs had the bases loaded. The ballpark, not full — an announced crowd of 33,294 — but filled with fans, got loud. Clapping, cheering, chanting, whistling.. He easily doubled Jeimer Canderlario off third to end the inning.nearly took him deep to left but it hooked foul. The tension built again in the park. Steele now had an 0-2 count and he blew away Wiemer with a 91 mph high heater. The crowd exploded again.
“I loved pitching in that environment,” Steele said. “Wrigley, the fans here do a really special job of knowing the situation, knowing what’s at stake, knowing when to get on their feet. That’s stuff you just don’t really see everywhere else.”
