‘I Thought the Game Was Over’: A Big Catch Saved the Phillies
HOUSTON — From his position behind home plate, JT Realmuto thought the game was over and that his team had lost the first game of the World Series.
The score was tied, it was the bottom of the ninth inning and Jeremy Peña, the rookie shortstop for the Houston Astros, had lifted a fly ball to shallow right field. With two outs, Jose Altuve, the Astros’ veteran second baseman, had taken off from second at the moment Pea’s bat made contact with the ball, and was barreling toward home plate, ready to score the winning run.
