Texas Rangers shortstop Corey Seager stepped up in a huge way for his team in front of a home crowd in the bottom of the ninth in Game 1 of the 2023 World Series on Friday night.
Going into the ninth, the Rangers trailed the Diamondbacks, 5-3, and center fielder Leody Taveras opened the bottom of the inning by getting the lead-off walk. A couple batters later, Seager was up.
And Seager must have liked what he saw on his first pitch because he swung big and blasted a mammoth home run to tie the game, which ultimately went into extra innings. The crowd at Globe Life Field sounded absolutely electric, but Fox’s Joe Davis delivered an incredible call of Seager’s homer.
"Could tie it with one swing. HIGH DRIVE… IT'S TIED!"
