Name it a “baseball wedgie” if you’d like. If you’re a Toronto Blue Jays fan, name it a case of horrible luck on the worst potential time. If you’re a Los Angeles Dodgers fan, you might be most likely calling it a season-saving play.
Whereas a lot 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 really a play two batters earlier that will have been the most important game-changer.
Maybe even 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 one out, Addison Barger stepped as much as the plate and ripped a line drive off Roki Sasaki to the left-center subject 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.
