The Philadelphia Phillies found a wild way to beat the Boston Red Sox on Monday night, as a catcher's interference call in the bottom of the 10th inning plated the winning run—much to the delight of the fans at Citizens Bank Park and to the amazement of the home team's announcers.
Edmundo Sosa was at the plate with the bases loaded when he checked his swing on a pitch that was outside the strike zone and called a ball. He quickly motioned to the home plate umpire that his bat hit Carlos Narvaez's glove. The call was immediately challenged and after a bit of a delay while replay officials looked it over, the ruling was made that it was in fact catcher's interference and the winning run crossed the plate.
