Cubs Even With Guardians After Home Win
The Chicago (Rk+) Cubs and the Cleveland (Rk+) Guardians will take the Round 1 to a decisive 5th game. In a must-win situation, the Cubs beat the Guardians, 8-6, at Harbingers Ballpark to force the series into what will essentially be a one-game playoff. Chicago (Rk+) left fielder Skyler McGuire was 4-4 with 3 doubles. He drove in 3 runs and scored once.

Rosaryville, Maryland native Skyler McGuire had a clutch at-bat in the bottom of the seventh for the Cubs. With Chicago (Rk+) trailing 5-4, he hit a 2-run double.

"It feels a lot better to be tied than to be behind, even if it is only one game," Chicago (Rk+) manager Jose Agramonte said.

The next game is set to be played for Thursday, September 19th , 2109 at Parrots Ballpark in Avalon.
