Cool little coincidence..postgame Morel said wilson (contreras) taught him to imagine he was in they eye of the hurricane in these big moments.
On the @NBCSChicago broadcast @JasonBennetti said as the 1-2 pitch was thrown Wrigley felt like the eye of a hurricane. Awesome stuff.

Let’s not forget Fulmer in the 8th. Without that pitching performance we don’t get to Morel and the walk-off.

I’m not much for the Cross Town Classic, but watching a struggling Christopher Morel hit a walk-off 3-run home run off of the White Sox closer who carved the Cubs up last night… that’s pretty cool regardless of if it’s a 25 under .500 team.
