and welcome back to Major League Baseball on the show from Progressive Field in Cleveland Ohio Kyle Crockett will come on now to start the ninth inning as he looks to keep this deficit right where it is for the bottom of the nin kicking off the top of the ninth Anthony Rizzo as they'll look for some added Insurance before the bottom half of the inning and this is a guy that can make a big change in this game with one swing of the bat because you know he has big time power here we go with inning number nine as the first pitch misses for ball one off speed pitch in the dirt as he takes it for a ball and this is all about handling a guy like this with kid gloves you know walk him if you have to but don't let him be the one to beat you two and one after the fou ball [Applause] there oh he lifts a high popup drifting into foul territory on the right side and the leadoff man retired here to kick off the [Applause] ninth into the box now Ben zis he's one for four for the game first first offering on its way first pitch hacking here and that's the first strike yeah when that's upstairs like that that's a pitch you got to leave alone and make him bring something down smoke toward third reay's got it in time to First and there are two away now B short Addison Russell Russell steps in and perhaps looking to drive another one out of the park just like he did in the second took a little off and it's in for a called strike one and a pitch in the dirt as he lays off it's one and one two out nobody on hit to short throw to first will get him easily and the side is retired three up three down for the Cubs they lead it 98 John Lester is on now to try to close things down here in the n number4 John [Applause] ler Michael Brantley will pinch hit here and he's the potential tying run [Music] michley and now the Cubs bull penal start working here as both a lefty and a righty are up there's the good fast ball from Lester as he jumps ahead no balls in a strike you know a lot of with a sinker baller out there you just conditioned to always look for something down so he can surprise you with that high fast maybe force SE it every once in a while and when he does you can forget it Lester has his Target 01 pitch on its way high in the air out to center field Fowler is under it he's got it one away Yan goes struggling so far in this one he'll look to erase his 0 for four ball game with a base hit right here oh man it's never fun to go over but let's see if he can find a way to climb out of it drops in a strike to start the at bat nothing in one and when he's finding the inside corner with that curveball oh he can be tough that's a hard pitch to hang in there on and a sinker in there for a called strike and he forges ahead nothing and two one of the things that makes him so tough to hit the ability to put his pitches right on the black yeah I mean you watch the catcher glove on some of these and it literally does not move that's how good stuff is swung on and lifted in the air to left Center Fowler on the Run he's got it and there are two down now Carlos Santana will stand in and their season hangs in the balance here as they're down to their final out cut fast ball in there for a called strike yeah the best way to neutralize this guy's power just keep putting pitches right there that's over but low it's a ball in a strike taking cold strike two and now they're down to their final strike tonight and against a guy like this you're usually only going to get one pitch to hit in that bat sometimes you might not even get that so that's one he may want back and and after years decades of futility we can finally say the words the Chicago Cubs have won the World Series well let the celebrating begin this is a World Series for the ages and it came down to a game seven but all along I really felt like this was the better team and they proved it here they are the world [Applause] champions back now on the show it's all over and you see the reactions there to the final out [Applause] and down on the field we'll get a chance to watch the presentation of the commissioner trophy to the new world Champs
