The Chicago Cubs are heading the the National League Championship Series after mounting the largest 9th inning comeback to win in MLB postseason history*. Trailing 5-2 in the top of the ninth, the Cubs scored 4 runs to take the lead into the bottom of the ninth. Former Red Aroldis Chapman sealed the win with a strikeout to finish the game.

San Francisco used 5 pitchers in the top of the ninth, but still failed to hold the Cubs from scoring. This allowed the Cubs to break the even-year streak of winning the World Series.

Looks like maybe the Cubs want to face the Indians.

*At least as claimed by the in game announcers...and now some dude named Dylan on twitter. And he's got fresh takes so it must be true.
