Pirates Shock Yankees in Wild Card Game
Yankees Vs PiratesTitle: 'The Underdog's Triumph'
Pittsburgh, PA – October 1, 2023 – The stage was set at PNC Park for an unlikely showdown: the struggling Pittsburgh Pirates versus the mighty New York Yankees in a one-game playoff for the final Wild Card spot.
The Yankees, led by their superstar sluggers Aaron Judge and Juan Soto, were heavy favorites. Meanwhile, the Pirates, a young team with no household names, had scraped their way into contention with gritty pitching and late-game heroics.
The Game
Top of the 1st: Judge blasted a 450-foot homer off Pirates’ ace Paul Skenes, silencing the crowd. 1-0 Yankees.
But the Pirates answered in the 3rd inning when rookie Nick Gonzales lined a two-run double off Gerrit Cole, making it 2-1 Pirates.
The Yankees tied it in the 5th on a Soto RBI single, but Pirates’ relievers held firm.
Bottom of the 9th, 2-2. Yankees closer Clay Holmes walked the leadoff man, and a sacrifice bunt moved him to second. Then, Oneil Cruz, the towering shortstop, stepped up.
On a 1-2 count, Holmes threw a high fastball—CRACK! Cruz launched it into the Allegheny River for a walk-off homer!
Final: Pirates 3, Yankees 2.
The underdogs had done it. The Pirates, written off all season, celebrated like never before—while the Yankees, with their $300M payroll, walked off in stunned silence.
'Nobody believed in us,' Cruz said postgame, 'but we believed in each other.'
And baseball had its newest Cinderella story.
⚾ The End. ⚾
