Two slam cannons! In the eighth game, 17 points were scored Sidewinder-Cub staged a crazy duel

Arizona's fierce comeback was ultimately undermined by limited options for cattle sheds.

When the baseball hit the famous brick wall in the right field of Wrigley Field and the video board bounced back into the field, Kyle Tucker started his home run and the stands went into a frenzy. When Seiya Suzuki then blasted the ball into the midfield, the decibel level remained at a deafening tipping point.

In the eighth inning of the game between the two teams on Friday, the party between Clark and Addison on the street corner officially began - the North Shore Army (Chicago Cubs) completed an incredible comeback to defeat the Rattlesnakes 13-11. This windy day turned the old course into a "bandbox", and the combined 21 runs in the seventh and eighth innings said it all, but none of the seven home runs were fluke.

"If you stay in this league long enough, you'll see more wonders," Cubs coach Craig Counsell said, "but tonight was crazy." "

Wrigley scored the most points in a single game? This was just the beginning of Friday's madness

"Crazy" is the perfect way to sum up the campaign.

According to team historian Ed Hartig, this is the first time since 1912 that the Cubs have won with an opponent scoring 10+ points in a single game. The 21 points tied the record for most points scored in two games in franchise history (the other one occurred in 1893). The Rattlesnakes became the first team to score 10+ points in a single game but lose since the Royals on August 23, 2006.

According to Sarah Langs, a reporter for MLB.com, the eighth-game combined 18 points for the most points scored in a single inning since Wrigley Field opened in 1914. Lens also mentioned that the Cubs became the seventh team in the last 125 years to concede 10+ points in a single game and win.

"Our line can explode at any moment, and it's coming fast," said Cub catcher Carson Kelly, who made a double bang, "and you never know what's going to happen on a downwind day like this." "

The Sidewinders scored 10 points in the eighth inning to take an 11-7 lead, erasing the impact of Ian Happ's seventh-inning slam cannon. Arizona's double-digit run included a slam shot from Cubs nemesis Eugenio Suárez and a three-point finish from Lourdes Gurriel Jr. According to Hartig, this is the sixth time since 1956 that the two sides have fired a slam at the same time.

The Cubs have shown one of the league's strongest playlines this season, and they just need one breakthrough.

"It's kind of a tacit understanding," Hap said, "although the exact matchup is up to the individual... But as a team, we genuinely believe in each other. From the first to the ninth, everyone has the ability to play high-quality seats. "

The chance came in the eighth inning: rescue pitcher Bryce Jarvis hit Nico Hoerner with the ball before picking up Pete Crow-Armstrong. Kelly hit his second home run of the game, and moments later, Tucker and Suzuki hit back-to-back hits to seal the win for Chicago.

It's like a bolt from the blue for rattlesnakes.

"We were all excited," Sidewinders coach Torey Lovullo said of the quarterout at the end of the eighth inning, "and it felt like the lead was big enough because there were only six outs left." We're happy with the matchups, but the execution isn't quite right. It can be very entertaining for the fans, but it's terrible for us. "

The final score overshadowed the high-quality pitchers in the early stages of the game, with the Rattlesnakes' Corbin Burnes and the Cubs' Colin Rea each other.

"It was a normal game until the end of the seventh inning," Rhea said, "and it was like a roller coaster ride after that." "

Lovulo Bullpen options are stretched: finishers A.J. Puk and Justin Martinez and layout pitcher Jalen Beeks are unavailable for two appearances in the first three days. Another layman, Ryan Thompson, threw 33 shots on Thursday for emergency/extended innings only.

Lovuro had planned to let long relayman Ryne Nelson throw seven or eight innings, and Shelby Miller if he took the lead. But Nelson lost five points to make it through the seventh inning, and Jarvis and Joe Mantiply were battered in the eighth.

"I bet all my chips yesterday to win," Lovulo admits, "and I thought it was more important to sweep the Marlin and play well, so given the uncertainty of the future, why not secure the win?" To win is to win. But today that decision has cost us. "

The rattlesnake generals were speechless.

"It's unbelievable," said Randal Grichuk, who contributed two hits on a 10-point offense, including a second-run with a base, "and can't remember if I've ever experienced this kind of game in my career." "
