The Chicago Fire started this year’s World Series without three of its key infielders from last year but had several players step up to fill the void. Going 3-2 in pool play, the Fire gained a much-needed day off on Friday to recover from the week’s sweltering heat.
In the championship game, the Fire found themselves trailing a good MBI team 7-1 going into the bottom of the eighth. Scoring eight runs on six hits, the Fire took a 9-7 lead into the ninth. The Fire held on to win the game 9-7, with a game-ending double play.
