yeah, I looked at the box score of that April game.
At one point, Atlanta had a 9-1 lead. And they blew it.
What a bummer.
I recall a few years ago, Lasorda was still managing the Dodgers, I was grazing and came upon the 9th inning of a game ESPN was showing. Dodgers led the Phillies something like 11 to 1 in the 9th.
I thought I’d watch the end of the game....Well, Phillies scored 11 runs in that inning and beat the Dodgers 12 to 11.
Lasorda was sooo mad! But it sure was fun to watch.
I think it was a home game for the Phillies, too—so the fans who stuck it out really got to see a fun win.
Cincy and St. Louis have done that to each other. I was watching both. 9 runs by cin in the 9th in 2013. St. Louis did it to them a few years prior. Exciting to watch because I think both teams had 2 outs when they managed to score most of their runs.
I remember reading that box score.
