That account, from the Chicago Tribune in.

Six years ago last Sunday, on May 8, 2016, the Cubs completed a 4-game sweep of the Nationals, 4-3, when Javier Baez homered with 1 out in the bottom of the 13th inning.
Washington had left 2 men.
His full name was William Frederick Schriver, but to baseball he was known as "Pop."
A catcher and first baseman, he played for 7 teams between 1886 and 1901, stepping to the plate more than 3,000.
Yesterday's post described the Cubs' walk-off victories in which they were shut out until they scored all their runs in their final inning.
Based on my search, the Cubs have had 61 such victories.
