9th inning, 2 outs, down by 1

Patrick's baseball team is playing in the State tournament right now. Last night his team played in a game that started at 8 p.m., but then was delayed by rain and lightning. At 10:45, Patrick's team was down by 1 run. It was the 9th inning and there were 2 outs. We got a runner on 1st when he barely beat out an infield hit. The next batter, when he was in the on deck box, said, "we're not going to lose this." (believe me...at that point I was thinking something along the lines of "yeah, right".) This kid gets to the plate and w/ a 2-1 count, hits a screamer down the right field line. The kid on first scores easily to tie the game, and then the kid that hit the ball scored on an overthrow home. It was amazing!! So, we (I say "we" as if I was actually playing...LOL!) just had to hold the other team in the bottom of the inning and they did! Good thing, too....because the team that lost had to play again this morning at 8:00. Patrick's team plays at noon.
