VIDEO: Kyle Schwarber Homers on 11th Pitch of At-Bat off Cardinals' Jack Flaherty to Tie Up the Game
By Karl Rasmussen
Kyle Schwarber just looked like a real MLB veteran out there. After an incredibly long duel at the plate, pitted up against Cards' starter Jack Flaherty, Schwarber was finally able to put a ball in play. Only he didn't, he crushed the pitch over the wall for a solo shot to tie it up at 4-4.
Foul.

On the 11th pitch of the at-bat, Schwarber muscled it out of the park, showing some incredible patience and poise in the batter's box.
After a rough start, the Cubbies have knotted things up at Wrigley Field, and will look to make a final push against their most fearsome rivals.
