Mallory Swanson’s Team USA goal triggers Cubs lineup bet
Mallory Swanson is on fire for the U.S. Women’s National Team in the Paris Olympics.
With another goal on Sunday afternoon in USA’s win over Germany, Swanson became the first Women’s National Team player to score 3 goals in the first 2 games of a single Olympics.
The goal also triggered a light-hearted promise between Cubs manager Craig Counsell and shortstop Dansby Swanson – Mallory’s husband.
Counsell told Dansby that if Mallory scored against Germany, the Cubs lineup card Monday would feature “Mallory Swanson’s husband” instead of just simply “Swanson.”
Taylor McGregor relayed the little bet between Swanson and Counsell. Check out the full video on the Marquee Sports Network app.
Jon “Boog” Sciambi also told the story of how Dansby watches Mallory and the U.S. team play as a fan.
