Down seven, Rays walk off with AL Wild Card
What a ridiculous Wednesday night it has been for the MLB. I tuned into the Tampa Bay Rays and the New York Yankees game last night. Through the first eight innings, the Yankees were up 7-0 on the Rays. Once it became the bottom of the eight inning, thats when it got really interesting. In the bottom of the eight inning, the Rays rallyed back scoring 6 runs becoming down one run with a score of 7-6. In the ninth inning, the Rays held the Yankees to no runs so they could get a chance to come back to win the game; they came back scoring with one run to tie it up 7-7 and take the Yankees to exta innings to get a chance to get the win. Once it became to the bottom of the 12th inning, thats when the game ended the Rays regular season in a great way. With one out Evan Longoria stepped up to the plate and hoping to give his team a chance to win the game. For the first few pitches, he made Yankees pitcher Scott Proctor work with a 2-2 count. With the next pitch, Proctor thought he had the game won, but nope he was wrong. He threw Longoria his next pitch, Evan got a hold of the ball and pulled off a walk off homerun to left field to give the Rays the victory and giving them the chance to go to the playoffs. Thats such a great way to end a regular season and to make it to the playoffs as well. Game 1 of the ALDS for the Rays is on September 30th, 2011 against the Texas Rangers.
