During a Chicago Cubs versus Chicago White Sox game, Cubs third baseman Christopher Morel made a crucial error that allowed the White Sox to score. It was a chopper hit by the White Sox’s Paul DeJong that Morel mishandled, ultimately leading to Andrew Vaughn crossing the plate for a 1-0 lead for the White Sox.
The mistake by Morel proved to be costly for the Cubs, as it gave the White Sox an early advantage in the game. Despite efforts to recover from the error, the Cubs were unable to overcome the deficit created by Morel’s misplay.
The play served as a reminder of how one mistake in baseball can have significant consequences, especially in a competitive match-up between two cross-town rivals. Both teams continued to battle it out on the field, but the White Sox’s early lead ultimately played a role in the outcome of the game.
