Cubs 16 Runs Finish Pirates
The 2003 Chicago Cubs did what many thought they couldnt do and beat the 1902 Pittsburgh Pirates to close out a series and remove any temporary curses. The Cubs bats exploded on a day when the wind was blowing out at Wrigley Field for 16 runs.
11 Runs in the 5th and 6th inning broke this game wide open as Aramis Ramirez drove in 5 runs and Alex Gonzalez another 4. Matt Clement held his own on the mound, winning the way he is accustomed too.....not pretty but efficient.
There was wide celebration by the Cubs fans as this was finally a time where they closed out a big series, but the Cubs tend to do well whe they are the underdogs.
