DR gave this game away. It should have gone to extra innings, but they totally messed up a rundown with two outs, then let a popfly fall between the SS and LF. Terrible play in the 9th inning.

It should have gone into extra innings. A pop out to short left field landed on the confused shotstops head and a the runner (on second or first) scored. :redneck

Funny sports blooper type play, go Venezuela!

DR gave this game away. It should have gone to extra innings, but they totally messed up a rundown with two outs, then let a popfly fall between the SS and LF. Terrible play in the 9th inning. It didn't fall between the SS and LF, it boinked right off the SS head, and ricocheted almost to the warning track. I guess he lost it in the lights, but his back was turned and it landed smack dead on his coconut, allowing the winning run to score from first.
