"Last night, with the bullpen having a rare off moment and blowing the lead in the 9th, it was up to Pete Crow-Armstrong to send the game to extras. Which, of course, he did, in dramatic fashion: That, in turn, gave the Cubs the opportunity to walk it off again in the 10th, for which Michael Busch gets the credit as the recipient of the bases-loaded walk-off walk (aka a Shrimp):"
"So much more fun from the game-tying shot and the walk-off: #Cubs walk it off for the 3rd straight night.

The Cubs enjoyed multiple late-game comebacks and walk-offs over consecutive days. After the bullpen allowed a lead to slip in the ninth, Pete Crow-Armstrong hit a dramatic game-tying two-run home run to send the game to extra innings. With the game tied, the Cubs continued to press and ultimately walked off in the tenth. Michael Busch received credit for the walk-off by drawing a bases-loaded walk. The sequence produced excitement for the crowd and broadcasters, with the booth reacting to the tie and the team extending a streak of walk-off wins. The run included historical notes about consecutive walk-off plate appearances and prior three-straight walk-off victories.
