In a delightful twist during the Chicago Cubs vs. Milwaukee Brewers game, a playful bet by Marquee Sports Network announcers Jon "Boog" Sciambi and Jim DeShaies turned into a cheesy treat for fans at The Corner Taproom in Cascade, Iowa. The announcers promised free mozzarella sticks to everyone at the bar if the Cubs executed a 6-4-3 double play in the fifth inning.

As Milwaukee catcher William Contreras stepped up to the plate with two men on and one out, the tension was palpable. "I mentioned somewhat flippantly yesterday that I feel like, at least once a game, William Contreras hits a ground ball to shortstop," DeShaies said. "This would be an ideal time for that to happen."

True to form, Contreras hit a ground ball to shortstop Dansby Swanson, who then fed Nico Hoerner at second and on to first for a double play. The bar erupted in cheers as the promise of free mozzarella sticks became a reality.

According to The Corner Taproom general manager Zach Nothdorf, the mozzarella sticks were delivered to patrons by the top of the seventh inning. "I don't think anybody really believed it. At least until [Marquee Sports Network analyst] Elise Menaker called," Nothdorf told ESPN. "Even I didn't really believe it until I talked to her and then I got off the phone and I went and told everybody the news and everybody just kind of erupted. They were all pretty pumped."

The Corner Taproom, located in the hometown of Cubs pitcher Colin Rea, who induced the grounder, was the perfect venue for this unique event. The bar already had a special offer in place: when Rea records two strikeouts in a start, patrons get a free drink. Nothdorf estimated that about 50 to 60 fans were served free fried cheese treats.

"Colin [Rea] deserves the recognition for everything too. So it's just really cool for the community and him and everybody involved," Nothdorf said. While still reveling in the Cubs' 4-3 Wednesday win, the venue is already planning for the next time the Iowa native is on the mound. "For [Rea's] next start, I might have to bring in some extra staff."
