The Toronto Blue Jays lost Game 6 of the World Series 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, allowing him and Myles Straw to attempt to score.
"That's such a hard wall, so it's very impressive that the ball stuck in there,"
said Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho, adding 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.
