The Curse of Wrigley Field

July 16, 1908 at West Side Park
Giants 4, Cubs 3  (45-33)

The Cubs woes continued as they dropped their fifth straight game.  In this one, the offense was tepid for most of the game but they stormed back with two runs in the ninth inning.  Unfortunately, they needed three to tie so while the cut the lead to a single run, it was a loss none the less.

Ed Reulbach took the loss in a mediocre outing.  He gave up four runs on eight hits and three walks with one strikeout in the complete game loss.

Pat Moran was the hitting star.  He went two for four with a triple and he scored on the Cubs runs.
