Live on CSN: Relive the Cubs' wild finish over the Pirates from May

Share

With one out and the bases loaded in the bottom of the 12th inning, Cubs outfielder Matt Szczur lofted a shallow fly ball to right field.

Despite Starlin Castro being on third, the fly ball wouldn't have been deep enough to score the game-winning run in what was then a 10-10 ballgame.

But as Pirates right fielder Gregory Polanco drifted over, his cleat caught in the Wrigley Field outfield grass, forcing him to tumble over as the routine fly ball fell harmlessly to the ground.

Castro scored the game-winning run in an 11-10 victory, giving the Cubs a 20-15 record, just four games behind the first-place Cardinals and 3.5 games ahead of the Pirates.
