Sister Jean was more than a basketball-loving nun and team chaplain of the Loyola Ramblers.

She was a living example of how to bring people together and "the love that she spread."

The 21 combined runs in the first inning in the Cubs/Brewers NLDS are 3 more than in the first innings of any other series in postseason history

The Cubs have scored 11 runs in the first inning during the NLDS.

They have struggled to add more, though, against the Brewers. From the 2nd-9th innings in Games 1-3 of the NLDS, Cubs have scored 2 total runs.

The Cubs strike again in the 1st with Ian Happ delivering the big swing for a 3-run homer off Freddy Peralta.

It took four tries, but a Cubs starting pitcher has gotten through the first inning of the NLDS without allowing a run. Just what the Cubs needed out of the gate from Matthew Boyd.

fwiw, Craig Counsell said the umpires made right decision not deeming it an infield fly.

Counsell: “You have to have a player that's going to catch it to call infield fly, and we never had a player really close to catching it. Right call. I was hoping they made the wrong call, they did not.”

An explanation on why the infield fly rule wasn’t called on the first-inning pop up that fell for a hit from umpire supervisor Larry Young, on site at Wrigley, via pool reporter:
