The Colorado Rockies held on to win 2-1 after a 22-inning marathon with the San Diego Padres at the Pet on Thursday night.
Get this: the game was scoreless going into the 14th inning, when BOTH teams scored a run! How cra-za-zy is that?
With the scoreboard showing 1-1 going into the top of the 22nd, the Rockies' Willy Taveras reached on a throwing error by San Diego SS Khalil Green. A stolen base, another throwing error (catcher Josh Bard), and a double later (Troy Tulowitzki), Taveras crossed the plate as the winning -- yet UNEARNED -- run. Whew!
There were 7th inning "Take Me Out To the Ballgame" stretches in the 7th, 14th & 21st innings. AWESOME!
Too bad they probably quit sellin' beer in the 8th inning. I bet them folks had alcohol-withdrawal headaches from hell, yo!
Here's a clip of the Pads tyin' it up in the bottom of the 14th. Fans I'm sure were thinkin' nothin' but happy thoughts at that point.
Too bad they'd be vewy, vewy sad later.
