Giants cap wild rally from 9-1 8th inning deficit with walk-off grand slam by Bryce Eldridge to stun Nationals
The San Francisco Giants called up top prospect Bryce Eldridge in May, hoping that he could provide a spark to a sluggish offense.
He delivered on Wednesday beyond any reasonable expectations to cap one of the wildest finishes of this or any MLB season.
The Giants entered the eighth inning of Wednesday’s home game trailing the Washington Nationals, 9-1. They proceeded to score five runs in the fifth inning, then loaded the bases in the the ninth with a 10-7 deficit.
Eldridge took the plate and delivered a walk-off grand slam to secure an 11-10 win to stun the visiting Nationals.
Needless to say, the rookie was mobbed by his celebratory teammates once he crossed home plate.
