Raucous Wrigley Field Crowd Propels Cubs to 3-1 Victory; Series Tied at 2
The Chicago Cubs and the Washington Nationals will take the Division Series to a decisive 5th game. In a must-win situation today, the Cubs beat the Nationals 3-1 at Wrigley Field to force the series into what will essentially be a one-game playoff. Chicago left-hander Anass Rhammar had a big role in the win. He threw 8.0 innings of 6-hit ball.

With no one out in the bottom of the second, Kevin Norton barreled up a forkball from Joe Hincks. The result was a 2-run home run, putting the Cubs in front, 2-1.

"It was a good day but I'm not letting my guard down," Rhammar said. "I'll let my guard down as soon as someone puts a big, fat championship ring on my finger."

Game 5 is scheduled for Sunday at Nationals Park in Washington.
