Cubs Miss Out On Late Opportunity; Indians Lead Series 2-1

It came down to the last pitch, but the Cubs couldn't pull out a win in the first World Series game played at Wrigley Field in 71 years.

The Cleveland Indians used four pitches and only scored one run, but it was enough. The Cubs left two men on in the ninth inning, losing 1-0 as they were shut out for the fourth time this post-season.

Game 4 will be played Saturday night at Wrigley Field, but the Game 3 loss means the Cubs will not be able to win their first World Series in 108 years in front of hometown fans.
