The Curse of Wrigley Field

July 10, 1908 at West Side Park
Cubs 3, Phillies 2  (44-27)

Three Finger Brown needed to pitch eleven solid innings before the Cubs pulled off this win for their third straight.  He gave up two runs on ten hits and one walk with two strikeouts in an impressive outing.

The Cubs put two on the board early in the first inning but the Phillies crept back into the game with single runs in fourth and sixth before the game went into extra frames.  The game winner came in the eleventh inning. After a lead off triple by Joe Tinker, Sol Hofman hit one deep enough to bring home the game winner.
