in my season I am playing out with the Braves, I had was playing interleague at Fenway against the Red Sox. With the score 4-2 in the 9th I bring on Bob Wickman for the save. He gets two quick outs before JD Drew hits a flare to center to keep it alive. Up walks Mike Lowell and on the first pitch I try and hit the inside corner with slider but instead I miss badly and it's a pitch out over the plate that he crushes to tie it up at 4-4.
In the top of the 10th I get a single to lead off the inning. Willy Aybar comes to the plate and I attempt to bunt the runner over. I don't get a great bunt as it's more of a pop up that takes an in between hop for Lowell. Lowell fields it and has plenty of time to throw me out at first, but instead he changes his mind mid throw (he literally did a pump like he was going to first and then stopped and changed direction and threw to 2nd) and goes for the lead runner who slides in just safe. Renteria comes to bat and I lay down a sac bunt to put runners at 2nd and 3rd with 1 out. Chipper Jones comes to the plate and Terry Francona has him intentionally walked and brings in Mike Timlin to face Andruw Jones. AJ hits a screamer but right to Julio Lugo at SS who turns into a double play to end the inning.
In the bottom of the 10th I bring on Chad Paronto who gets 2 quick outs before Julio Lugo singles up the middle. Up walks Big Papi. After busting him in with sliders McCann sets up for a fastball away. Papi hits an opposite field shot that hits the light tower and caroms back onto the field of play for a walk off two run shot. Sox win 6-4. It was funny because after the game I was looking my team morale page and all the relievers morale bars were in the red.
