Name it a “baseball wedgie” if you would like. If you’re a Toronto Blue Jays fan, name it a case of horrible luck on the worst attainable time. If you’re a Los Angeles Dodgers fan, you’re most likely calling it a season-saving play.
Whereas many of the consideration from the Dodgers’ 3-1 Recreation 6 win will give attention to the walk-off double play that ended the underside of the ninth inning, it was truly a play two batters earlier that will have been the largest game-changer.
Even perhaps a series-changer.
The baseball wedgie that saved the Dodgers season
With the Blue Jays down by two runs, a runner on first and no person out, Addison Barger stepped as much as the plate and ripped a line drive off Roki Sasaki to the left-center discipline hole.
As an alternative of taking a bounce off the ball, it completely struck on the base of the wall and caught beneath the padding.
Dodgers middle fielder Justin Dean instantly threw his arms within the air to point to the umpires that the ball was lodged beneath the wall.
