Tonight we have Game
Two of the 2015 World Series. Last night’s
14-inning marathon began with a first-pitch, first-inning inside-the-park home
run off Mets’ ace Matt Harvey. The last
time a World Series saw an inside-the-park home run was back in 1929.
Alcides Escobar’s
crushing hit grabbed the heartstrings of Royals’ fan and captured the
imagination of 40.6 million viewers who watched last night’s game. There was also an infuriating 4-minute power
outage and a ninth-inning solo homer by Royals’ left fielder Alex Gordon to tie
the game in the ninth inning after Eric Hosmer committed a fielding error
giving the Mets the go-ahead run in the top of the eighth.
In the 14th inning
Hosmer walked up to the dish. The ducks
were on the pond and the Mets infield, in the fierce urgency of now, was at the
edge of the infield to defend against a bases-loaded jam. Hosmer smacked a sacrifice fly to drive in
the man who started it all, Alcides Escobar, for the winning run.
GO ROYALS!
