Chicago is trying to become the first club to overcome a 3-1 Series deficit since the 1985 Kansas City Royals and the first to do it by winning Games 6 and 7 on the road since the 1979 Pittsburgh Pirates. CLEVELAND — The Chicago Cubs won their first World Series championship since 1908 when Ben Zobrist hit a go-ahead double in the 10th inning, beating the Cleveland Indians 8-7 in a thrilling Game 7 delayed by rain early Thursday. “It’s a totally different game than what we played back in our days. Cleveland threatened again in the seventh, getting two men on, but Cubs manager Joe Maddon somewhat surprisingly turned to closer Aroldis Chapman, who quickly got Francisco Lindor to ground out to end the inning on a close play at first base that was originally called safe, but was overturned when they went to the video.

Cleveland Indians' Jason Kipnis runs to second after a double against the Chicago Cubs during the fourth inning of Game 6 of the Major League Baseball World Series on Nov. 1, 2016 in Cleveland. Ben Zobrist's RBI double off Bryan Shaw drove in pinch runner Albert Almora, Jr., and Miguel Montero's single with the bases loaded brought home Anthony Rizzo for what proved the winning run. Hendricks, a 28-year-old right-hander, went 16-8 and didn’t get a decision in his Game 3 Series start, when he allowed six hits in 4 1/3 scoreless innings of a 1-0 loss. "It's an honor to even be a part of it, and we're going to give it everything we have," Indians manager Terry Francona said. But the Cubs, after tormenting their fans one more time, came right back after a 17-minute rain delay before the top of the 10th and scored twice. “It was kind of an easy decision after talking to him.”
