00:00Welcome to Major League Baseball

00:07Speedway Classic at Bristol Motor

00:09Speedway.

00:10First Major League Baseball game

00:12ever in the state of Tennessee.

00:14Man how cool is this getting

00:16closer and closer to first pitch

00:17the Braves and the Reds Big League

00:20Baseball from Bristol.

00:22What a spectacle this is from

00:24Bristol Motor Speedway the Atlanta

00:26Braves in the Cincinnati Reds to

00:29play a regular season Major

00:30League Baseball game in the middle

00:32of a racetrack.

00:34We welcome inside hope you're

00:36enjoying what this looks like as

00:37much as we are minds are blown.

00:39It's a chance tonight to set an

00:40all-time regular season baseball

00:42attendance record.

00:43That's so sick.

00:45So sick.

00:47I want to go in one of them one

00:48time.

00:49Oh.

00:50Fellas a buzzkill the tarps coming

00:52on the field right before the

00:53teams are ready to take the field.

00:54I'm going to stay positive and say

00:56this is just a passing little

00:58shower.

00:59We've had rain pouring for the

01:01last couple hours but they got the

01:02tarp off the field drain quickly.

01:05Got the diamond dry out there and

01:07we're going to have baseball.

01:08Boogity boogity boogity boogity.

01:10Let's play ball.

01:11And it is after this long wait

01:13finally John the 22 year old Chase

01:15Burns who is the second pick of the

01:17draft just one year ago.

01:19Good for him to wait out these two

01:21hours.

01:21Not the easiest thing to do for a

01:23starting pitcher.

01:24Here's the 2-2 pitch.

01:25Swing and a miss.

01:26He struck him out.

01:27Got him with a slider down and in

01:28and down on strikes.

01:29Jerks and Profar.

01:31I think it's going to be hard to

01:32see for the hitters.

01:33Now another 2-2 comes home.

01:35Burns and a fastball at 100.

01:37Strikes him out.

01:38He puts bookend K's on a 1-2-3

01:40first.

01:41It will not be Spencer Schreider

01:42after the long delay and said

01:44Austin Cox who's pitched well out

01:45of the bullpen for Atlanta.

01:46He's pitched well out of the

01:47bullpen and I don't know how many

01:49innings he's going to be able to

01:50give the Braves and this is going

01:51to be one of those games that

01:52you're going to have to fight the

01:53elements.

01:54TJ Friedle back with the team

01:55just today.

01:56He was away for the birth of a

01:58baby boy.

01:59Friedle throws his bat.

02:00I knew that was going to

02:01happen.

02:01Way down the right field line as

02:03he swings and misses.

02:04You could see Friedle on the

02:05prior pitch rubbing both hands

02:07on the side of his pants and I

02:09don't think that will be the

02:10last bat toss we see tonight.

02:12So he'll go back.

02:13A little more stick him on the

02:14bat.

02:15Strike three called to open the

02:18game for Cox.

02:19Now Matt McClain will stand in.

02:21Off the end of the bat right

02:22side.

02:22Race to the bag in these tough

02:24conditions.

02:25Cox is not in time and McClain

02:27uses his speed.

02:28Boy that's not an easy play for

02:30the big fella lumbering over

02:31there.

02:32Well here he is.

02:33Main attraction in this game.

02:35Eli de la Cruz.

02:36Swing and there's a bouncing

02:37ball.

02:38That is back up the middle.

02:39Backhanded by Albies.

02:40Jump throw to first.

02:41Pulls Olsen off the bag.

02:42Great play by Albies to get to

02:44it and if you had any questions

02:45about the footing that ought to

02:46be answered because without good

02:48footing there's no way Albies

02:49could get to that ball.

02:50A couple of infield hits.

02:52Now runners at first and second

02:53base and the batter is Austin

02:54Hayes.

02:55Rips this one through the left

02:56side and a base hit.

02:58Here comes McClain.

02:59Profile will lob it into third

03:01and Austin Hayes has put the

03:03Reds on the board in the first

03:04inning.

03:05Austin went diving for it out of

03:07his reach and the wheels of

03:08Matt McClain spin around the

03:10bags and come across for the

03:11game's first run.

03:12And the Reds have a 1-0 lead.

03:14Austin Hayes putting the Reds on

03:15top.

03:16And so instead of pulling the

03:18tarp they're just going to go out

03:19and put drying compound down

03:21across the whole infield while

03:22it continues to rain here.

03:24It rains raining faster than they

03:25can carry those bags a quick

03:27dry.

03:27All right now they're uncovering

03:30the tarp down the right field

03:31line.

03:32And we're going to be back in

03:33another delay.

03:34We're going to suspend tonight's

03:36game.

03:36We'll be back tomorrow 1 o'clock.

03:38And something that we've been

03:39excited about for so long and

03:41unfortunately Mother Nature just

03:42doesn't want to cooperate.

03:43Welcome back to the MLB Speedway

03:45Classic here in Bristol, Tennessee.

03:47Reds and Braves just about to get

03:48it started again.

03:49It's a restart if you will.

03:51They're about to wave the green

03:52flag after yesterday's action was

03:55suspended because of rain.

03:56The Braves pitcher Hurston

03:58Waldrop was driven this morning

04:00about 260 miles from Blunette

04:02County, Georgia to make this

04:04start.

04:05That's about the equivalent of 500

04:07laps around this racetrack.

04:08Well he inherits runners at first

04:10and second.

04:11One out.

04:11It's 1-0 Reds as Miguel Andujar

04:14climbs in.

04:15The guy's taken off on the first

04:17pitch of the resumption and

04:18De La Cruz and Hayes both stealing

04:20bases.

04:21Perfect scenario.

04:22You know they talked about it.

04:23You know it was planned.

04:24The last thing that's going to be

04:25on the young man's mind when he

04:27starts this game is going to be

04:29out of the stretch.

04:29And the base runners, this is what

04:32Cincinnati does.

04:33This is how they make up for their

04:34lack of power.

04:35And they do it on the bases.

04:37And you got L.A.

04:37De La Cruz to 30 stolen bases for

04:39the year.

04:40That has bounced down to third and

04:41they've got De La Cruz hung up.

04:44Austin Riley bives after him.

04:46Right there.

04:47And tags him out.

04:48Man oh man.

04:49Pack it in a bunch of action.

04:51Outstanding play by Austin Riley.

04:54We have seen so many great

04:55defensive plays by Austin in his

04:57career but that's about as unique a

04:58defensive play as he's ever made.

05:00Brent Suter has had a decade in the

05:02major leagues.

05:03One of those guys that is great to

05:04have on your team on a day like this

05:06where he says whatever you need I'll

05:08go out and do it.

05:09Two down for Michael Harris.

05:11Harris rips a base hit into right

05:13field.

05:14Continuing what he's done for most of

05:15the last month.

05:17Isaiah Albies follows him with a base

05:18hit of his own.

05:19And the Braves are at first and

05:21second.

05:21Braves could tie it with a base hit

05:23right here.

05:23Here's Eli White.

05:24Two down on the top of the second.

05:26That ball's hit hard.

05:27Deep to left field.

05:29But it is gone.

05:33Eli White with a three run home run

05:36to put the Braves in front.

05:38There's a car.

05:40I don't want to be holding that

05:41sign.

05:42Holy man on the car's window but

05:44this ball was down the line that

05:45we saw yesterday in batting

05:47practice down the line and in the

05:49right field the ball is jumping.

05:51We've got an enclosed stadium

05:52basically on this infield of the

05:54racetrack and down the line is

05:56going to be hard to keep the ball

05:57in play deep down the left field

05:59line from Eli White and the Braves

06:02take a 3-1 lead here on the top of

06:04the second.

06:05And Stevenson takes low and inside

06:07for ball four.

06:07It's a one out walk to the Reds

06:08catcher.

06:09Now keep Ryan Hayes.

06:11Broken bat flare right center field.

06:13That's down for a base hit.

06:15Keep Ryan Hayes with a bloop single

06:17and the Reds are at first and second

06:19with the top of the order coming up.

06:21Wild pitch.

06:23Load the bases up.

06:24Infield hit from McClain last night

06:26and he came in to score the Reds run.

06:28McClain pops one up.

06:31And the center field for Harris

06:33tagging from third Stevenson.

06:35He'll come home and it's a sacrifice

06:36fly that makes it 3-2.

06:38Matt Olsen at the plate here.

06:40Down 0-2.

06:41He better be ready.

06:42Here comes Suter.

06:43Grounded along first.

06:44Diving stop by Spencer Steer.

06:46What a play as he feeds Suter.

06:49Wow, what a play.

06:49You know what's amazing about Steer?

06:52Not just the ground he can cover

06:53but how good he is

06:55giving the ball up to the pitcher.

06:57I mean, that's a backhanded feed.

06:59Like you said, he shoveled it on.

07:00Perfect feed right to Suter

07:02right there at the bag

07:03in plenty of time.

07:04Now the Braves have a bona fide

07:05one-out threat here in the fifth.

07:07First and third for Matt Olsen.

07:10Strikes him out.

07:11Two gone in the fifth.

07:12Fantastic breaking ball here

07:14against a really good low-ball hitter

07:16but he gets it below the angle of that bat

07:18for a huge strikeout.

07:20Williams

07:20bunts it in the air

07:22right back to May

07:23and he's out of this jam.

07:25Braves leading 3-2

07:26in the top of the seventh.

07:27Eli White, the only source of offense

07:29for the Braves today

07:30up to the plate.

07:31Braddy brings it.

07:32Eli smashes another one

07:33back to the wall.

07:35This one flies.

07:36How about some more horsepower

07:37from Eli White?

07:39It's a solo homer.

07:41Fire up the pace car.

07:42It's 4-2 Braves.

07:45Eli White rounds the sacks

07:47for the second time of the game

07:48and right now

07:50the scoreboard should read

07:51Eli White 4, Cincinnati 2.

07:54Man, Eli's enjoying himself

07:56here in Bristol.

07:57Can we put more games

07:58in the middle of racetracks?

08:00What a day for Eli.

08:02Fly ball right center field.

08:04Freed on the run.

08:05He's at the track.

08:06Gets off the warning track.

08:09Profile makes the turn.

08:10Heads for third.

08:11Dava Cruz

08:12go to third.

08:13Not in time

08:14and a triple for Profile.

08:16And just a click

08:17from being another car

08:19around the track.

08:20They could send

08:21like a less fast car

08:22around the track

08:23or less impressive one.

08:24Two down.

08:25Runner stays at third base.

08:26So it's up to Luke Williams

08:28here as you place

08:28Austin Riley in this game.

08:30Riley leaving

08:31with an injury.

08:32Breaking ball.

08:34Strike three called.

08:35And Barlow

08:36executes to perfection.

08:38It's Dylan Lee

08:39for De La Cruz.

08:40Represents the tying run.

08:42Two gone in the seventh.

08:43Runner goes 3-2.

08:45Bottle rocket.

08:46Shallow right field.

08:48Albies going out.

08:49White coming in.

08:50That's Eli's ball.

08:51It's Eli's day.

08:52Makes the catch

08:52and that ends the bottom

08:53of the seventh.

08:54And it's a two out single

08:55for Noel V. Marte.

08:57We've got a new pitcher here.

08:58On to relieve Dylan Lee

08:59after he goes an inning.

09:01Is the right hander

09:01Tyler Kinley.

09:03One of the newest Braves.

09:04Is the 34 year old

09:05right hander.

09:05Faces Spencer Steer.

09:07Represents the tying run.

09:08Runner goes first pitch.

09:09Throw from Murphy.

09:10Not in time.

09:11So a stolen base for Marte.

09:14Taking for ball four.

09:15Tying run aboard for the Reds.

09:17And you've got a guy

09:18coming up here

09:18that could change this game

09:20with one swing.

09:21Tyler Stevenson.

09:22That's a block.

09:23That is a block.

09:24He started towards third base.

09:27You can't start towards third base.

09:29The Reds catcher

09:30takes ball four

09:31and the bases are loaded.

09:33Here comes key Brian Hayes

09:34with the bases loaded

09:36and two outs.

09:37Boy there's no better way

09:38to endear yourself

09:40to your new teammates

09:41than to come up

09:42with a big knock

09:43and one right here

09:44would tie the game.

09:45It is a breaking ball.

09:46Grounded left side.

09:48Diving stopped by Williams.

09:49Throw to second in time.

09:51What a play by Ozzie Albies

09:53as they get the force

09:55out of Tyler Stevenson.

09:57Luke Williams

09:57with a diving play

09:58to his left.

10:00Somehow got rid of it.

10:01A low throw

10:02and Ozzie kept the bag

10:04as he tumbled to the ground.

10:05Gets to the ball

10:06and he has to throw

10:07quickly to second.

10:08He short hops it

10:09and then like a first baseman.

10:12That's the only way

10:13Albies could make that play.

10:15And the Reds are denied

10:16in the bottom of the eighth inning.

10:17The Braves closer

10:18trying to close down

10:19his old team.

10:20The top of their order

10:21and T.J. Friedel.

10:22A line drive

10:23base hit for Friedel.

10:25Once again

10:26Cincinnati gets the tying run

10:27to the plate.

10:28And now McClain

10:29with De La Cruz on deck.

10:31Let's fly deep down the line

10:32to the right field corner.

10:34There it is.

10:35Knocked out of there

10:36by White.

10:37And it becomes

10:38just a long single.

10:40That close to a game

10:41tying home run.

10:43Well we talked about

10:43the ball traveling

10:44down the lines

10:45in this ballpark

10:46and that was a routine

10:48fly ball

10:48or at least it seemed

10:49like it to Eli White.

10:51And when he gets

10:52to the wall

10:53this thing's lucky.

10:54The wall hits his glove.

10:55The ball pops out.

10:57Luckily it didn't go up

10:58and it stayed

11:00in the ballpark.

11:01And just like that

11:02they have the tying run

11:03on the board

11:03and they've got

11:04Eli De La Cruz

11:05at the plate

11:05as the winning run.

11:070-2 pitch.

11:09Got him swinging

11:10strike three.

11:12Fastball at 96.

11:14And he blows it

11:15by De La Cruz.

11:16Two gone in the night.

11:18It'll be up to Jake Fraley

11:19who has homered

11:20against Iglesias before.

11:22Fraley pops it up

11:23back of third.

11:25Williams is there.

11:27The Braves hang on

11:28to win the Speedway Classic.

11:304-2 the final score

11:32and it's Eli White

11:34with a two home run game

11:35to do it.
