Blue Jays' Dramatic Loss in Game 6 of the World Series
The Toronto Blue Jays lost Game 6 of the World Series in a dramatic fashion. 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 came around to score, but were returned to their bases after the umpire signaled 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 reflected on the game saying
I was being too aggressiveon the game-ending double play.
