The Curse of Wrigley Field

April 22, 1907 at West Side Park
Cubs 3, Reds 2  (6-1)

The Cubs continued their hot start with a close win over the Reds as they returned home to Chicago.  With the score tied 2-2 heading into the bottom of the ninth, the first two Cubs went down.  Then Jimmy Slagle kept the inning alive with a single and he stole second.  Then Jimmy Sheckard got a fluke single when he hit one off of Reds starter Charley Hall’s shin.  Frank Schulte then singled home Slagle to win it.

Frank Steinfeldt also had a solid game at the plate.  He went two for four with a double and a run. 

Ed Reulbach threw a decent enough game.  He gave up two runs on just two hits but he walked seven.
