Mallory Swanson’s Team USA goal triggers Cubs lineup bet

Mallory Swanson is making headlines for the U.S. Women's National Team at the Paris Olympics.

In Sunday's match against Germany, Swanson netted another goal, making her the first player on the Women's National Team to score three goals in the first two games of any Olympic tournament.

This impressive feat also led to a playful agreement between Cubs manager Craig Counsell and shortstop Dansby Swanson, Mallory's husband. Counsell humorously promised Dansby that if Mallory scored in the game against Germany, Monday's Cubs lineup card would label him as "Mallory Swanson's husband" instead of just "Swanson."

Taylor McGregor shared this amusing anecdote between Swanson and Counsell.
