CINCINNATI -- Down to their final strike, the Cubs pulled off one more improbable comeback followed by one more wall-shaking party in the clubhouse. Victory No. 103 had such a familiar feel to it.Matt Szczur doubled home two runs with two outs in the ninth inning, and Miguel Montero followed with a homer as Chicago finished one of its most successful seasons with a flourish, beating the Cincinnati Reds 7-4 on Sunday.Its a perfect example of why weve won so many games this year, Montero said.With victory No. 103 in the books, the Cubs headed back to Wrigley Field for their first playoff game on Friday against the winner of the NL wild-card game. Theyve been using the last week to basically stay sharp and get ready for bigger games.Ending the season with their 14th win in their last at-bat was fitting. So was the music-driven party in the clubhouse that ended with players raiding the cooler for bottles of water and then spraying manager Joe Maddon in celebration.Ending up with a win on the last day of the season, I think that speaks about our whole group, said Maddon, sitting in the managers office with water dripping down the walls and the desk. 103 is a nice, round number. Ill take it.The Cubs led the majors with their most victories since 1910. Thats no longer the reference point, however. The postseason focus is 1908, the last time they won a World Series.The final series at Great American Ball Park was more about personal milestones. Jon Lester failed to get his 20th win on Saturday, and Kyle Hendricks finished as the ERA leader at 2.13 on Sunday despite a ragged performance. He gave up four runs and six hits in five innings, forcing in one run with a bases-loaded walk.Hendricks hadnt allowed more than three earned runs in any of his last 22 starts. He came into the game with a 1.99 ERA, hoping to become the third Cubs pitcher in the last 96 years to finish below 2.00.The meaningful statistic now: Hendricks 1.32 ERA at Wrigley Field this season, the best home ERA in the majors.At this point in my career, I never thought Id be in this situation, said Hendricks, 26, who is in only his second full season in the majors.The Cubs have pulled off improbable comebacks all season, and had one more left. After Raisel Iglesias (3-2) retired the first two batters in the ninth, Chicago pulled ahead with a walk, a single and Szczurs double. Monteros homer was a major league record 103rd allowed by Reds relievers.Justin Grimm (2-1) retired the one batter he faced for the win. Carl Edwards Jr. got his second save.Cincinnatis Joey Votto singled in four at-bats, giving him a .408 average since the All-Star break. Hes the first player in the majors to bat .400 after the break since Ichiro Suzuki hit .429 in 2004.The Reds finished 68-94. Combined with last years 98 losses, its the first time theyve had back-to-back 90-loss seasons since 1933-34. Attendance at Great American Ball Park was 1,894,085, a significant drop from the 2.4 million they drew last season while hosting the All-Star Game.What matters is how we utilize 2016 to be better in 2017 and 2018 and 2019 and get more fans in the stands, manager Bryan Price said.HONORING ROSSThe Reds showed a video from David Ross days in Cincinnati on the videoboard in the middle of the first inning, honoring the Cubs catcher who will retire after the season. Fans gave him a standing ovation, and he waved his cap from the dugout railing.STATSThe last two Cubs pitchers with ERAs below 2.00 were Grover Cleveland Alexander (1.91) in 1920 and Jake Arrieta (1.77) last year. ...

Michael Cheika is reluctant to heed fresh calls to shift Israel Folau to the centres as the Wallabies travel to Wellington striving to arrest their worst losing streak in more than a decade.The Wallabies havent won a match since Cheika was named world coach of the year last November, while Saturday nights humiliating 42-8 loss to the All Blacks was Australias heaviest defeat on home soil in 113 years.Cheika is taking full accountability for the World Cup finalists alarming fall from grace, but has also placed his under-performing troops on notice that none is safe from the axe as they regroup to face New Zealand again on Saturday.Ill have a look at the whole team as far as the set-ups concerned and once weve had a good review of the match, both today and tomorrow, give the opportunities to the players that want to stand up and put themselves on the line for Australia in Wellington, said Cheika on Sunday.Major strike weapon Folau had little opportunity or impact from fullback, prompting further calls to play him at outside centre where incumbent Tevita Kuridrani had a poor night and has failed to impress this season.But Cheika indicated it was unlikely.Hed be an option, yeah. Well have a look at it, said Cheika. Hes always in the selection mix that way.But Ive always seen Israel as in the fullback role and thats been his main role and its probably somewhere Id like to see him keep playing.Tournament-ending injuries Matt Giteau, who suffered a broken ankle in Saturdays Rugby Championship opener, and Rob Horne, who likely requires a shoulder reconstruction, will likely force Cheika to at least find a new inside centre.Matt Toomua, who replaced Giteau on a disastrous night at ANZ Stadium, must pass a series of concusssion tests before being considered for the return bout in New Zealand, where the Wallabies must win for the first time in 15 years to keep their Bledisloe Cup hopes alive.ddddddddddddWith Giteau and Toomua used as second playmakers, Cheika said Quade Cooper was a definite inside centre option, along with rookie Reece Hodge and fellow squad member Samu Kerevi.Cheika has numerous other worries, including a horror tally of 38 missed tackles.Blindside flanker Scott Fardy could gain a recall after surprisingly being relegated to the bench before the Wallabies lost five lineouts on their throw in Saturdays drubbing.Cheika accepted responsibility for not having the Wallabies in the right mindset but hoped the six-tries-to-one rout served as a wake-up call.Theres no better reality check on that than what happened yesterday, he said after the Wallabies slumped to five straight Test losses for the first time since the 2005 team under Eddie Jones.Weve got to keep building after last year ... We got to a high point, which maybe a lot of people didnt expect, including perhaps some of the players (who) didnt understand the potential they could reach when they really dug in.Maybe theyre dealing with that, maybe theyre battling with that, getting back to that level, but they will.Cheika, though, is under no illusions as to what level is required immediately for the Wallabies to stop the All Blacks from retaining trans-Tasman bragging rights for a 14th straight year.Were going to have to improve by 40 points if we want to do that in the turnaround, he said.Thats what were going to try to do this week.
