In a 13-inning marathon that required breath-taking heroics from the Arizona Diamondbacks in order to pull off a 5-4 win over the Chicago Cubs Friday night, it’s only fitting that the victory fell on ‘Superhero Night’ at Chase Field.

Below is but a small sampling of the best that ‘Superhero Night’ had to offer from the announced crowd of 34,498.
