Cubs: Despite homerun, Wood unable to propel cubs CONTINUED FROM PAGE 9

“Those are two tough guys to beat, I’ll tell you what,” Beckett said. “We got a break. Things work out for a reason, I guess.” A sellout crowd of 39,574 minus the infa- mous Steve Bartman — the fan who deflected a foul ball during the Marlins’ eighth-inning rally in Game 6, he was at home with a police guard — had the old ballpark shaking as Wood and Moises Alou homered for a 5-3 lead. But Wood could only flip his glove into the stands when the wild-card Marlins ral- lied. They scored three runs in the fifth, Luis Castillo added an RBI single in the sixth and then Gonzalez doubled. Brad Penny won with an inning of score- less relief for Mark Redman. Beckett came out of the bullpen and pitched four innings of one-hit ball on two days’ rest, allowing only a homer by pinch- hitter Troy O’Leary. Ugueth Urbina worked the ninth for a save. Home teams had won 12 of the last 13 times a postseason series went to Game 7. But the Marlins became just the sixth team to ever overcome a 3-1 deficit in a best-of- seven series. Florida has never lost a postseason series in its young history, going 5-0. That includes a thrilling Game 7 victory in 11 innings over Cleveland for the 1997 title. At 72, Jack McKeon is the oldest manag- er to reach the World Series. That seemed farfetched when the Marlins were 19-29 back in late May, but McKeon, who had replaced the fired Jeff Torborg earlier in the month, somehow steered them this far. “I told them the first meeting that if they worked hard, they’d be playing in October,” he said.
