Manny “Walks Off” with 27 Straight
After going 0-3 in the first 9 innings, Manny has one more chance to extend his hitting streak to 27 straight games in the 10th at a tied 7-7 game. Mark Loretta and David Ortiz walked to put runners on first and second. Manny hit a ball into the outfield and the left fielder missed the ball on the pass which allowed pinch runner Gabe Kapler to score giving the win for the Red Sox and keeping Manny’s streak going.
This was a very interesting game from the start. The O’s were in this game to hit starting in the first inning and continued through the 6th inning, but after a 4 run 6th inning, we came back to tie it at 7-7.
Then in the bottom of the 10th, Manny knocked in the game winning RBI
