Blue Jays' Dramatic Loss in Game 6 of the World Series
The Toronto Blue Jays lost Game 6 of the World Series in a dramatic fashion, with a game-ending double play.
Addison Barger said, "I was being too aggressive" on the play.
In the ninth inning, trailing 3-1, Addison Barger hit a double that got lodged between the outfield fence and the turf, allowing him and Myles Straw to score, but they were returned to their bases after the umpire signaled a ground-rule double.
Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho commented,
"That's such a hard wall, so it's very impressive that the ball stuck in there... That's probably the only spot where it could have possibly gotten stuck."
The Blue Jays challenged the play, but the call was upheld, as a fair ball lodged in the outfield wall padding is considered a ground-rule double.
