Blue Jays' Dramatic Loss in Game 6 of the World Series
The Toronto Blue Jays lost Game 6 in a dramatic fashion, with a game-ending double play.
Trailing 3-1 in the ninth inning, Addison Barger hit a double that got lodged between the outfield fence and the turf. Barger and Myles Straw initially came around to score, but were returned to their bases after the umpire signaled a ground-rule double.
"That's such a hard wall, so it's very impressive that the ball stuck in there,"
said Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho. He added that the spot where the ball got stuck was likely the only place it could have become lodged.
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.
Addison Barger reflected on the play, stating
"I was being too aggressive"on the game-ending double play.
