CHICAGO — Someone had to score, at some point, in some inning and in some way, so those 40,000 people at Wrigley Field, and all the others watching at home, could get some sleep at some hour Tuesday night.
And so it was Tony Wolters, the Colorado Rockies’ backup catcher, the latest substitution in a game that emptied most of two rosters onto one field, delivering a go-ahead, two-out single in the top of the 13th inning of the National League wild-card game. The home crowd hushed once Wolters flicked a Kyle Hendricks change-up into center field, scoring Trevor Story from third base, putting the Chicago Cubs on life support in the longest win-or-go-home postseason game ever played.
The Cubs were then three outs away from being on the wrong side of that history, then two, then one, and then a season that started with World Series hopes ended on the third day of October, just after midnight Central time, with a 2-1 defeat to the Rockies.
