Mason Katz Involved in a wild finish to a crazy baseball game

Well, let's start with how they won: It's the bottom of the 14th inning and the Kansas City T-Bones are completely out of pitchers, having already used their entire bullpen and then their centrefielder to get through a pair of innings. So they bring in starting pitcher Matt Sergey, who is coming off a 105-pitch performance in Fargo 48 hours earlier. As a result, the righty ends up using his left arm to throw — and promptly walks the first two Goldeyes batters he faces.

After a sacrifice bunt moves them over to second and third, Sergey is asked to intentionally walk Goldeyes hitter Mason Katz to set up a bases-loaded, one-out force play situation. But instead of just making a routine wide toss to his catcher, Sergey — we remind you, he's using his wrong arm to throw — sails one to the backstop.

Shawn Pleffner trots home with the game-winning run on a wild pitch intentional walk, and what's left of the 4,413 fans who were at the game when it started five hours earlier are sent into a frenzy. The Goldeyes had just won their sixth straight game in the most dramatic of fashion, pushing them ahead of Kansas City and into the wildcard playoff spot.
