An Intense Battle at Wrigley Field
Hey Buccos fans! What a nail-biter of a game today against the Cubs at Wrigley Field! I'm thrilled to report our beloved Pittsburgh Pirates emerged victorious with a 3-2 win. From Andrew McCutchen's hard-hitting double to Jack Suwinski's thrilling home run, it was a rollercoaster right until the very end.The Early Innings: A Slow Start
Both teams started off cautiously, keeping the score locked at 0-0 through the first three innings. The fourth inning marked our first breakthrough, thanks to Andrew McCutchen's double to right field, bringing in Nick Gonzales to put us on the board. Crow-Armstrong leveled the score later that inning for the Cubs, but the game was truly heating up.A Game of Small Margins
Isiah Kiner-Falefa gave us the lead again in the 7th with a crucial double bringing Jared Triolo home, only for the Cubs to equalize in the bottom of the inning with Matt Shaw's sacrifice fly. The turning point, though, was in the top of the 9th. Swinging with ferocity, Jack Suwinski launched a massive home run, sending Pirates fans into a frenzy!
The Thrilling Final Plays
Bottom of the 9th went all in our favor as Crow-Armstrong got on base but was swiftly caught stealing by our quick-thinking defenders. Nico Hoerner's fly-out and Dansby Swanson's ground-out sealed a memorable victory for the Buccos! The team remained resilient throughout, showing our true Pirate spirit right up until the last out.

Cheers to the team for gifting us yet another memorable win! Here's hoping for more of the same in our upcoming games. Let's go, Bucs!
