Nervousness
More Drama
We get back to the hotel and I go to my room. I see it’s 5-1 and I’m nervous. I can’t take it. I feel we’re going to choke. But I battle my emotions and watch the game.
Charlie Mortonpitches lights out to the ninth inning and we’re still up 5-1.
When the Houston Astros made the last out in the top of the ninth, my parents called me and said no matter what happens, accept it. I was prepared for us to blow the game. I knew we weren’t going to. But I felt that there was a chance we could.
Morton strikes outChase Utley. One down. I’m glad we got the first out. But the top of the order is coming.
Morton facesChris Taylorand it goes to 2-1. Now I’m nervous. Every pitch that’s a ball scares me because it leans towards the Dodgers. Taylor hits the ball and it looks like it’s going to be close. I say hustleJose Altuveand he does. He retires Taylor. Two outs.
The reality starts to set it. We’re one out away. Here comesCorey Seagerand I was this close to saying it was game over. What would happen now?
A groundball.
The ball goes to Altuve in the shift.
I blackout.
Altuve throws to Gurriel.
Seager is out.
I lost it.
