Sevens: How Chicago Teams Have Fared Recently in Seven-Game series-- Part 2

CHICAGO CUBS:  October 15, 2013,:  One win from their first World Series berth since 1945, the Cubs fell to the Marlins 9-6 at Wrigley Field.  The Cubs took a 5-3 lead into the fifth, but Kerry Wood couldn't hold the lead.  (This was the year of the Bartman episode.)

CHICAGO WHITE SOX:  October 8, 1919:  Little-known fact:  The White Sox have never played in a decisive Game 7.  Their only game 7 occurred during the 1919 World Series against the Reds.  The Sox won 4-1 in Cincinnati to stay alive in the best-of-nine series, but lost Ga,e 8-- and the series--  a day later at Comiskey Park.
