CLEVELAND (AP) — Cubs fans can now forget about billy goats and Bartman. The Curse has been laid to rest by Ben Zobrist.

The Cubs are World Series champions for the first time in 108 years after Zobrist delivered a tiebreaking double off losing pitcher Brian Shaw in the 10th inning to lead an 8-7 victory over the Indians in Cleveland. Zobrist is now the toast of Chicago, less than 11 months after signing a free-agent contract and one year after helping the Royals win the Fall Classic.

The rally began following a brief rain delay between the ninth and 10th innings. Kyle Schwarber got things started with a leadoff single before pinch-runner Albert Almora Jr. took second on a fly ball. Anthony Rizzo was walked intentionally to set up a potential inning-ending double play, but Zobrist ripped a base hit down the left-field line. Miguel Montero followed with an RBI single two batters later, a hit that would become crucial.
