Blue Jays' Dramatic Loss in Game 6 of the World Series
The Toronto Blue Jays lost Game 6 of the World Series in a thrilling finale. Trailing 3-1 in the ninth inning, Addison Barger hit a double that became lodged between the outfield fence and the turf.
Barger and Myles Straw attempted to score, but were returned to their bases after the umpire signaled a ground-rule double due to the ball's position.
"That's such a hard wall, so it's very impressive that the ball stuck in there,"said Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho.
Varsho added,
"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.
Addison Barger noted,
"I was being too aggressive"on the game-ending double play.
