CHICAGO -- Chicago Cubs fans waited 71 years to celebrate a return to the World Series.Overjoyed fans streamed out of Wrigley Field and into the streets Saturday night after the Cubs beat the Los Angeles Dodgers in Game 6 of the NL Championship Series to earn their first trip to the World Series since 1945.Many people donned Cubbie blue and held W flags. Two people climbed a traffic pole, with one man shimmying all the way to the end. Police said he was later arrested, as were a couple of fans who lit fireworks.A majority of the crowd, however, celebrated the victory peacefully. Many took selfies in front of the stadium and hugged one another. Some also broke out in song, while others shook up beer bottles and sprayed the crowd.Police officers, including about a dozen cops on horseback, kept a close eye on the crowd. And some officers were seen giving high-fives to fans as they walked by.Brian Dusza, who was at Wrigley for Game 6 of the 2003 NLCS, never thought hed see the team win the pennantI never thought Id see it, Dusza, 49, said after attending Saturdays game. I cant even describe what Im feeling.Among the few thousand fans who stayed in their seats an hour after the game ended was Ed Koenig of Darien. His eyes welled up as he talked about his father, who died in May.He never got to see this, Koenig said. I havent been to a game this season without him and when my friend won a lottery for these tickets, I thought `how am I going to go without my dad?But his friend convinced him to go.I have his watch on, Koenig said, showing off the watch on his wrist. I thought I was going without my dad, but Im with him.Before the game, Steve Zucker said that if the team won, he would go to his fathers grave and leave him a Cubs hat and T-shirt.My dad died playing cards, listening to the game on a little transistor radio, so I may bring that, too, Zucker said.Cubs pitcher Kyle Hendricks said after the game that this win and trip to the World Series was for the fans.I hope they enjoy this. They have been waiting a long time, Hendricks said. Best fans in the baseball, most dedicated fans, and they deserve a lot more of these.The Cubs will face the Cleveland Indians in Game 1 on Tuesday, with the series returning to Wrigley Field for Game 3 on Friday.Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys . -- Kyrie Irvings last-minute 3-pointer helped seal another victory for Cleveland -- and the Cavaliers longest winning streak since LeBron James left.

Cheap NFL Jerseys . - Connor McDavid scored 53 seconds into overtime as the Erie Otters came from behind to defeat the visiting Guelph Storm 4-3 on Saturday in Ontario Hockey League action.CHAPEL HILL, N.C. -- This could be a tricky spot on the schedule for North Carolina.The Tar Heels dropped out of the Top 25 following a loss to one of their fiercest rivals, with the other one looming next week on a short week. In between is a seemingly harmless visit from a team from the Championship Subdivision.Except that the FCS team coming in for Saturdays game -- The Citadel -- is one of only two undefeated teams at that level, has already wrapped up the Southern Conference title and a year ago knocked off a Power 5 program.The Citadels not going to come in here and feel intimidated by any means, UNC coach Larry Fedora said. Theyll come in here expecting to win a football game.North Carolina (7-3) doesnt have any time to wallow after a 28-27 loss to Duke put its hopes for a second straight trip to the Atlantic Coast Conference championship game in serious jeopardy, though Virginia Techs loss to Georgia Tech two days later kept them alive. The Tar Heels need to beat North Carolina State next Friday and have Virginia upset the Hokies to earn a spot in the Orlando, Florida-based game.But thats next week. Right now the priority is avoiding a slip-up against a lower-level opponent that beat South Carolina last year and has already sewn up a spot in the FCS playoffs that begin next week.Weve got our work cut out for us, no doubt, first-year Citadel coach Brent Thompson said. Its always one of those things we look forward to, an FBS school on an FCS schedule.---Some other things to know about the Citadel-North Carolina game:RUNNING BULLDOGS: Its no secret how The Citadel is going to try to win --- by controlling the clock with its triple-option offense, which is similar to the one Georgia Tech uses.dddddddddddd North Carolina, which allows an ACC-worst 222 yards rushing per game, gave up 334 yards on the ground to the Yellow Jackets but won the game 48-20. You hope theres enough carryover with our guys that it will help because we only have a couple of days to get ready, Fedora said.UNDER THE HOOD: North Carolina RB Elijah Hoods streak of 100-yard games ended last week when Duke held him to 75 yards on 13 carries, though he led the team with 58 yards receiving. Fedora says there were too many very basic things that we didnt do throughout that game which kept us from being efficient and just didnt make the plays to put the ball in the end zone.NO PICKS: North Carolinas defense has one of the more bizarre streaks in college football: The Tar Heels are the only FBS team without an interception. They may not get one this week, either, because The Citadel throws fewer than 10 passes per game.KEEPING IT TIGHT: Both teams are used to playing close games. Seven of The Citadels 10 games have been decided by 10 or fewer points, while the Tar Heels have played four games decided by a total of 11 points. Their record is 3-1 in those games with the lone loss coming last week to Duke.---Follow Joedy McCreary at http://twitter.com/joedyap.
