Blue Jays' Dramatic Loss in Game 6 of the World Series
Trailing 3-1 in the ninth inning, Addison Barger hit a double that got stuck between the outfield fence and the turf, allowing him and Myles Straw to score, but they were returned to their bases after the umpire signaled a ground-rule double.
"That's such a hard wall, so it's very impressive that the ball stuck in there,"
Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho said, noting the unusual nature of the play. The Blue Jays challenged the call, but it was upheld, as a fair ball lodged in the outfield wall padding is considered a ground-rule double.
Addison Barger reflected on the game-ending double play, saying
"I was being too aggressive".
