Trea Time

"Trea Turner #7 of the Washington Nationals is dunked with water by teammates after hitting a game-winning RBI double against the Miami Marlins during the bottom of the ninth inning at Nationals Park on July 02, 2019 in Washington, DC."

Everyone loves a good battle - and sometimes that seesaw game goes to the very end of regulation.

Overtime elevates the game play to another level. But I'm willing to take a guess that players don't always want the extra innings.

In baseball, every pitch and swing becomes important in the bottom of the ninth inning and beyond.

Just when everyone in the ballpark envisions 'free baseball' or extra innings - a hero emerges and ends the game.

In this case, it was Trea Turner of the Washington Nationals knocking a game-winning RBI.
