Cubs win 4-3 over Les Expos on a game-ending pickoff at first. Mitch Williams was pitching and Lloyd McClendon was playing first. Great game, great ending.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
yep, and technically that was illegal. mcclendon wasn't holding the runner on. williams actually threw to mcclendon while he was about 5 feet off the bag, which you're not supposed to do. either the umpire blew it or he felt that mcclendons momentum was taking him to first and he let it go. either way, great play great ending.
