Cleveland (AP)– The Chicago Cubs have won the World Series and fans are going crazy with joy across the country and in Chicago.
They beat the Cleveland Indians, 8-7, in 10 innings. It’s the end of a long drought for Chicago.
The team hadn’t won a World Series title since 1908.
Ben Zobrist doubled in the go-ahead run in the 10th inning, and Miguel Montero added an RBI single to make it 8-6. Rajai Davis singled home a run in the bottom half off Carl Edwards Jr. before Martinez grounded out against Montgomery to end it.
The game included a 17-minute rain delay before the 10th inning.
A boisterous sellout crowd, nearly half of them rooting for Chicago, packed Progressive Field an hour before the first pitch. Revelers also stood shoulder-to-shoulder outside the ballpark, watching the game on large screens.
