Blue Jays Lose Game 6 in Dramatic Fashion
The Toronto Blue Jays lost Game 6 of the World Series after a dramatic turn of events in the ninth inning. Trailing 3-1, Addison Barger hit a double that got stuck between the outfield fence and the turf.
Barger and Myles Straw attempted to score, but were returned to their bases after the umpire ruled it a ground-rule double due to the ball being lodged in the fence.
"That's such a hard wall, so it's very impressive that the ball stuck in there,"
said Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho. 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.
