The Curse of Wrigley Field

June 9, 1908 at Washington Park
Cubs 4, Superbas 3  (27-15)

The Cubs blew a three run lead in the bottom of the seventh inning but then rallied to score in the eighth to get the lead back.  Del Hofman led off the eighth with a single and he moved to second on a bunt by Johnny Kling.  Frank Chance popped out but then Harry Steinfeldt came through with an RBI single in what would be the game winner.

Jack Pfiester threw a good enough game and he picked up the win.  He gave up three runs on nine hits with seven strikeouts and he also doubled and scored a run.  Jimmy Slagle led the team with three hits, all of which were singles.
