SAN DIEGO – Nico Hoerner pushed up from his head-first slide into third base and pounded his chest, shouting back at the raucous Cubs dugout that was celebrating his go-ahead RBI.
“It’s fun when they’re in the third base dugout and it’s right in front of you and seeing everyone’s faces,” Hoerner said after the Cubs’ 2-1 extra-innings win Tuesday. “And you put a lot of time into this game, so you’ve got to enjoy those special things.”
