Pirates Lose In Extras After Freese Misses Second Base
Philadelphia Phillies rallied to an 8-4 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates after Gene Freese failed to touch second base in the 10th inning, recalling Merkle’s 1908 baserunning error. Ramon Mejias singled scoring Tom Seffell for the Pirates’ lead, but Freese’s lapse allowed a forceout to end the inning and force extra play. The Phillies then prevailed in the 11th as the error shifted momentum and sparked a lengthy delay.
