Ben Zobrist (named series Most Valuable Player), hit an RBI double in the tenth inning while Miguel Montero singled home another run in the same inning on Wednesday night as the Chicago Cubs won their first World Series championship since 1908 by winning game seven 8-7 on the road in ten innings over the Cleveland Indians (still awaiting their first World Series title since 1948).
The Cubs became the sixth team (the first since the Kansas City Royals in 1985) to overcome a three-games-to-one series deficit to win the world championship, and the fourth to do so by winning the final two contests on the road.
Here are the newly-crowned world champions celebrating after their victory in one of the most epic game sevens ever.
