Nate Freiman's Bloop Reminds Us Of Another

((HT: MLB/CSN))

Nate Freiman ended the Oakland-Yankees game this way today...


The Athletics are the 2nd team in Major League Baseball history to win 2 games this way in the 18th inning or later in same season- the other is the 1967 Yankees...

Fun stats from the 3-2 win:

Yankee pitchers threw 11 perfect innings

Oakland pitchers no-hit the Yankees 3-6 hitters- going 0 for 28

The A's won their 11th in a row at home, 21st in 26 overall, and moved a season-best 14 games above .500.
It's still their best start since since 1990.

They became the first AL team to play two 18-inning games in one season since Oakland and the Washington Senators did it 1971.

The game went 5 hours and 35 minutes...

Each team used seven pitchers and threw 255 pitches.

137 batters came to the plate- still 19 short of the season high of 156 during Oakland's 19-inning win over the Angels and the 20-inning game between the Marlins and Mets last Saturday...

Oh, the other event it reminded us of...???

Just that Freiman's went further and a little more left...
