And that, my friends, is why baseball is the greatest game. What a bizarre post season this has been. Whether we end up winning this whole thing or not I will never forget this run.
Before "the inning", my wife and my 13 yo son (who is a good player himself) were all watching together, but we were getting a little down. My wife went to take a shower, and my son retreated to his room to play his guitar. I kept watching in the exact same chair, and after the 3-run homer by Rupp, I yelled for my son to come and watch the rest of the inning. Wife missed the whole thing and came out hearing us whooping it up. When she saw the score at 6-6, she could not believe it.
