The game is tied in the seventh inning with two runners on base. Ian Happ, carrying the burden of recent offensive struggles, delivers a major hit at a critical moment. The Cubs then need to protect the lead after finally getting the kind of timely production they had been missing. Immediately after the moment, Michael Conforto hits a two-run homer, extending the advantage further. Another home run follows, increasing the likelihood that the Cubs will win. The sequence turns a tied late game into a decisive offensive surge.
"Tie game. 7th inning. Two on. Ian Happ, who maybe more than any other Cub has worn the weight of the recent struggles at the plate for the team, at bat. And he came through in a very big way:"
"The Cubs have been needing THAT big hit for such a long time. They have to hold this lead now. Ope, and just as I finish all that, Michael Conforto joins with a two-run homer of his own! This might actually happen!"
