September 27, 1935

The Cubs swept a doubleheader from the Cardinals, 6-2 and 5-3 to clinch the NL pennant. The victories extended the Cubs winning streak to twenty-one games. This tied a franchise mark set in 1880. The Cubs had last lost an outing back on September 2d when they dropped the second half of a doubeleheader to the Reds at Wrigley.

With the regular season scheduled to end on September 29th and the World Series between the Cubs and the Tigers to begin October 2d, we'll have a Series preview shortly.
