First Ever Walk-Off MLB Pitch Clock Violation

[silverscreenselect]

The Colorado Rockies beat the Washington Nationals 8-7 Saturday night. That's not the news story. What is news is how they won the game.

With the score tied 7-7, the Rockies loaded the bases with no outs and a 3-2 count on batter Ryan McMahon, Washington pitcher Kyle Finnegan was called for the violation, resulting in an automatic ball being called, resulting in a walk and a walk-off. According to MLB records, this is the fourth time a pitch clock violation has resulted in walking in a run, but the first time it ended a game. (For what it's worth, given the game situation, the Rockies would have been heavy favorites to win the game anyway.)

I got home in the 9th inning with the score tied 7.7. I watched with rapt attention as the count continued to climb.

Then all of a sudden, the batter is headed to first. Yay, Rockies! We win!

Every once in a while, we do win.
