Marquette, MI – One more ticket to be bought, one more seat to be sat in and one more game of the World Series. The Chicago Cubs pounded the ball and pitched well to beat the Cleveland Indians on Tuesday night 9-3. Kris Bryant homered in the first inning and in the fourth inning a grand slam from Addison Russell broke the game wide open. Solid pitching from Jake Arrieta and Aroldis Chapman sealed the deal for the Cubs and live to see another day. The Cubs and Indians square off tonight in a game 7 in Cleveland at Progressive Field. The Cubs haven’t won a World Series since 1908 and the Indians since 1948. One of the long records will be broken. Question is, who will it be? Game time is at 8 pm.
