PHILADELPHIA – With the bases loaded and the game tied in the 11th inning, acting Cubs manager Ryan Flaherty went out to make the defensive change, and third base coach Quintin Berry waved in left fielder Ian Happ, infielder’s glove in hand.
The Cubs were going to a five-man infield. It was a last-ditch effort with Phillies left-handed hitter Brandon Marsh at the plate.
He drove a walk-off single off the left-center field wall to beat the Cubs 4-3 in the 11th inning.
“We had five hits,” said manager Craig Counsell, who was ejected in the bottom of the ninth inning.
