Didn’t see it all, just last two innings. Taipei was winning 1-0, bottom of sixth and final inning, two out, one on. Kid gets a hit to tie the game. Extra inning.
When I turned it on ….. top of seventh, runners on first and second, one out, Taipei’s best hitter up. Two quick strikes, them fouls off four straight, then a pop up foul for an out. Next batter fouls out on fourth pitch.
Florida doesn’t score, onto eighth. Taipei doesn’t score in their half. Florida comes up and, like in pros, they start with a runner on second. Very first pitch the batter lays down a bunt on the first base line. Pitcher runs over picks up the ball and fires to first……. but no one covered first and ball rolls to outfield and the runner scores all the way from second with the winning run.
After a very brief celebration by the winners they all started hugging the heart broken players from Taipei. They were devastated, especially the pitcher.
Crazy…..hope someone posts video later.
