CUBS CLAIM TENTH STRAIGHT VICTORY WITH 7–3 WIN OVER PIRATES

Ewing Goes the Distance as Chicago’s Hot Streak Rolls On

The Chicago Cubs continued their blistering run of form this afternoon, securing their tenth consecutive victory with a convincing 7–3 triumph over the Pittsburgh Pirates at Exposition Park. The win lifts the Cubs to 28–16 for the season and cements their place among the early favorites in the National League race.

For much of the afternoon, it appeared the contest might remain a close affair. The Pirates matched Chicago through the middle innings, but once the Cubs’ bats came alive in the later frames, the outcome was all but sealed. A decisive four-run surge in the final innings broke the game open and ensured the winning streak lived to see another day.

The man at the center of it all was Bob Ewing, who delivered a masterful performance on the mound. The right-hander went the full nine innings, allowing 10 hits and three runs, while striking out four. The victory improved Ewing’s record to 7–3 with a 3.25 earned run average, marking yet another steady outing for the veteran hurler.

After the game, Ewing was quick to credit the team’s balance and perseverance.

“We’re playing with confidence right now,” he said. “The fellows behind me are fielding sharp, and the bats are coming through when we need them. That makes it a lot easier to just go out there and pitch my game.”

Cubs manager Tom Loftus, who has seen his club catch fire in recent weeks, praised the team’s unity and resolve.

“What you’re seeing is a group of men pulling together,” Loftus remarked. “Ewing gave us a strong game, and the hitters didn’t let up when it mattered. Ten wins in a row doesn’t happen by luck — it comes from hard play, day in and day out.”

As May draws to a close, the Cubs look every bit the powerhouse many predicted they would be. If this form continues, Chicago’s charge toward the pennant could prove difficult for any National League rival to stop.
