04:14when they have opportunities not coming
04:16through like these runners in scoring
04:17position round ball base hit into
04:19right O'Neal Cruz coming home the

05:37play and heading home the throw from
05:40De La Cruz and what a job by the
05:43catcher Trevino who was handcuffed
05:46maybe fan interference we'll see
05:49Pittsburgh is challenging fan
05:51interference placing the runners
05:53they're also challenging the play at the
05:56plate blocking the plate the ball would
05:59have bounced over the fence was going
06:00to bounce not into the corner but
06:02into the seats and a fan knocked it
06:04back onto the field after review the
06:06call is overturned the ball would
06:08have gone out of play so the runners
06:10will go back to second and third
06:12Cantrell will deliver with two outs
06:14he is 0 for 2 in this game and they're
06:17loaded for Cruz not what Terry
