The Cubs stroke nine straight hits, that includes six singles, two doubles, and a home run, off reliever Erskine Mayer in the top of the ninth inning at the Baker Bowl. Chicago’s late offensive barrage produces six runs, helping the team to coast to an easy 10-4 victory over the Phillies. (Many sites erroneously list this game as being played on August 19, with Grover Alexander giving up the big inning.)
