04:03A's coming up in the bottom half
04:05rocker last time out struggled
04:07with his command against Toronto
04:10and Brent Rooker into right field

04:57and Jacob Wilson to second nobody
05:01out two on here for the A's 0 2
05:04roll to deep short reaching for
05:06it can't get it to Smith in the
05:08left field stopping a third base
05:10as Wilson has linked for charges
05:12and was ready to throw and Eric
05:14Smith made the right decision
05:16nobody out put the brakes on on
05:17the lead runner no place to go
05:19but home Rooker at first Butler
05:22at second Wilson a third so
05:23here's blood a looking for his
05:25first hit in the series with the
05:26two one swung on grounded
05:28sharply up the middle diving to
05:29his right as the second baseman
05:30Simeon flips at the second on the
05:32ground and a stretch by Smith
05:34finds a way to corral it they get
05:36the force on Rooker but Wilson is
05:39home and the A's lead it one to
05:41nothing this one out towards
05:45left field it'll be a catch for
05:48Langford coming home Lawrence
05:50Butler it's two to nothing
05:54sacrifice fly from Shane Lang
05:56Lear's the crowd on their feet
06:02here's a little bit earlier
06:03today partner venturing out in
06:07all the selfies signing all the
06:09laughs my big question did
06:12anyone get you any of that food
06:14it smelled delicious coming in
06:16here today.
06:22What the snag of Zalem Zach
06:24Gelof Webber Jem go and get it
06:28Kelly he's pumped so are we
06:31quick first step pays to be an
06:33athlete Zach Gelof one of the
06:36bigger second baseman in the
06:37game.
06:37Wilson led into scoring position
06:40and the delivery now and that's
06:42going on a fly ball left field
06:43that's playable Langford coming
06:45on toward the line fighting the
06:47sun and he drops it and scoring
06:50is Wilson and the A's take a
06:52three nothing lead.
06:53It wasn't Hamilton drops the
06:55ball.
06:57It was Langford drops the ball
07:01and the old Coliseum son.
07:03It is so appropriate after all
07:06these years and we've talked
07:07about it day baseball last game
07:11ever at the Coliseum and the
07:14Coliseum son strikes again.
07:18Let's flash back October 3rd
07:212012.
07:23That's Josh Hamilton.
07:24Go.
07:25Drop the ball.
07:27What is the result.
07:29That's the first place A's.
07:30Oh yeah.
07:31That brings the tie run to the
07:33plate in the person of Adoles
07:34Garcia pitch to Garcia and
07:37that's lined out to right field.
07:38That's a base hit.
07:39It'll chase Smith to the plate
07:41Langford into third.
07:42They'll stop him.
07:44RBI single by Garcia and the
07:46Rangers are on the board.
07:47It's three to one.
07:49Say clapping it up as he walks
07:51out and takes the baseball from
07:52his young starter gives him a
07:54hug on his way out.
07:56This sold out crowd will come to
07:58their feet and also give the
08:00young man a cheer.
08:01Forty six thousand eight hundred
08:04eighty nine fans the largest at
08:06the Coliseum and J.T. Ginn giving
08:09the Oakland Faithful the love
08:10right back.
08:15Bouncer right side of the
08:16infield they'll go to second for
08:17the one out to throw to first in
08:19time for the double play.
08:22Now the Rangers will check.
08:25And my guess is this one.
08:27Yeah that one's going to get
08:27challenged and it will get
08:29overturned low.
08:30It looked to the naked eye like
08:32he beat it out.
08:33I thought for sure he beat it
08:34out.
08:35The runner is safe.
08:36Texas will retain their
08:37challenge.
08:37It's now three to two.
08:41Severus goes after a pitch away
08:43and he strikes out.
08:44But the Rangers scored twice in
08:46the six.
08:47Kelly is struck out and fly the
08:49center 0 for two.
08:52This one is center field JJ
08:54Bladet on the move.
08:57JJ Bladet with a diving catch.
09:01This is a gift for Oakland.
09:03This is unbelievable.
09:06Shaded up that right center gap
09:08ball scalded off the back JJ
09:10Bladet with a quick break in a
09:12great line lay out one time.
09:15That's JJ Bladet baby.
09:18Dallas you know what time it's
09:19going to be.
09:20It's going to be Miller time.
09:22Now this legend trying to add to
09:25it in the eighth inning.
09:28So Miller twenty seven for
09:30twenty nine in the pitch to me
09:32it's a ground ball come back
09:33Ritz taking my Miller runs
09:35halfway to first to flip inside
09:38Rangers denied by the A's great
09:39closer.
09:40They still need three more
09:41hours.
09:42We go to the bottom of the eight
09:43we go to the ninth A's lead
09:45three two is hoping that this
09:47will be the last half inning of
09:49this long and glorious historic
09:51run for the A's at the Coliseum
09:54over 57 years.
09:55They lead the Rangers three to
09:58out crowd feeling the finale.
10:03Open to end right here is Mason
10:04Miller coming back out at the
10:08final out in the eighth inning
10:09and looking for a four out save
10:12and a swing and a miss one oh

10:18Mason Miller to the plate and is
10:19swung on and missed one oh one
