There's a big dude on the bench who's a lot more likely to hit it over the fence than Daniel Schneeman.

And his name is John Kenzie.

And as Stephen Vogt said after the game, he pinch hit to hit a homer.

That's why we sent him up there, which is so great because of course John Kenzie even is like, yeah, try to get at bat just trying to get a pitch, blah, blah, blah, but we're all thinking it, what's the point in the press box is like, oh, this is, this is the home run.

It's a home run that everyone had been waiting for for six weeks and he finally did it in the best possible spot and it was the coolest thing I've ever seen.

The moment that Chek West song, Mo Bamba starts playing as Dr Kinsey's rounding second is the most badass.

It was so bad ass and like you could just feel the stadium like moving on its foundation.

So Clay Holmes comes in for the bottom of the 10th.

Normally home runs, not Clay Holmes issues.

Uh It's like everything else wildness.

It's like on time.

Bad Babbit and bass hits whatever.

I mean, this was a, a sinker that didn't sink quite enough.

And David Fry, who's just, what a season for David Fry just torches one.

Not quite as, no doubt as Noel's, but that was more of a Noel thing than a David Fry thing.

And, uh, that was it, the game, the game ended and I can't, I can't believe it.

It was, it was amazing when in the post game, the manager of the losing team in a great game is asked the first question and it's often like about the, whoever blew it, like, whatever whoever the pitcher was and the manager goes, that's a classic, is one of my favorite things like Boone did that like to the t last night and I love it.

That Boone look.

Yeah, it sucks.

But Boone is like, do you see that?

And, and Vogt said the exact same thing when they lost that carry carpenter game, you know, it was the exact same thing.

And that was, how do you deal with that?

And he's like, that was pretty cool.
