A fan was cheered Thursday after climbing to retrieve a bat that was lodged in Wrigley Field’s protective netting near first base. The bat had slipped through Brewers outfielder Sal Frelick’s grasp after a swinging strike in the sixth inning and became lodged about 10 feet up.
Giving it his best Spider-Man effort, the fan clambered up the screen and pulled the bat into the seating area before following someone out. He returned minutes later without the bat to cheers and high-fives from fans in the crowd of 41,078, the Cubs’ largest this season.
