The finale of the Crosstown Classic came down to the wire as the Cubs and White Sox battled it out, with the North Siders emerging victorious, 5-4. This game had a lot of avoidable mistakes by the South Siders, as their youth showed in some ugly ways this afternoon.
The Cubs tackled on early against opener Grant Taylor, as with one out Kyle Tucker doubled, followed by a Seiya Suzuki walk. Pete Crow-Armstrong showed off his star power, wasting no time with an RBI double to left, to make it a quick 2-0 lead:
With Ben Brown on the mound, Andrew Benintendi cut the lead in the bottom half of the first clubbing a two-out solo shot to right.
