Cubs Pull Out Late Win, 6-5
The Chicago Cubs just keep winning.

The Chicago Cubs defeated the Boston Braves, 6-5. First Baseman Ray Sanders deserved a large share of the credit. Sanders went 1-2 with 2 walks, while scoring 2 times for the Cubs. Chicago has run its win streak to 10 in a row.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Chicago pinch hitter Don Kolloway, facing Earl Caldwell, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Cubs the 6-5 win.

"This place was electric at the end," Sanders said.
