The Cubs handled the Cardinals – and the duck?

The Cubs completed a doubleheader sweep over the arch rival St. Louis Cardinals at Wrigley Field on Tuesday.

But the Cards weren’t the only birds that needed handling on the field.

A wayward duck made its way into play and players and umpire Angel Hernandez had to get quacking to dispatch it. Does this finally negate the Black Cat Game?
