That was absolutely incredible. To all the little kids out there, when your coach tells you to never stop running, this is why.
Rookie Cubs 1B Michael Busch (the guy the Cubs got from the Dodgers this offseason to be their big bat at first base), was already having a great night tonight against the Rangers, having reached base three times.
But after working an excellent two-out walk in the 9th — and advancing to second base with the game tied — Busch managed to SCORE from second base, when Miles Mastrobuoni fouled a ball backwards.
Yep, the umpires missed it and called it a passed ball instead (a foul tip at the plate is not reviewable).
Naturally, the universe evened it all out, as Adbert Alzolay gave up a game-tying home run to open the ninth inning and blow his first save of the year.
