Sunday’s Triple A game between the Reno Aces and Salt Lake Bees featured an ending you’ve never seen in a big league game. Seriously—the rules don’t allow it.
After Salt Lake took a 3–2 lead in the top of the 10th inning, Reno tied it up in the bottom of the inning on a single by Kyle Lewis. The Bees then intentionally walked the next batter, Phillip Evans, to load the bases. But then pitcher Kolton Ingram couldn’t find the zone. His first two pitches to Ali Sánchez missed wildly. The third was well inside.
With the count at 3–0, Ingram needed to throw a strike. Ball four would mean a walk-off walk for the Aces. But his fastball missed inside. The game was over. Or was it?
