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 <b>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</b>. 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.
