Improbable HR by Sherry Magee Walks Off Wichita
Posted August 9, 2023
An amazing, improbable, crazy ending in Louisville tonight as the Colonels beat the Jobbers 3-2 in Game 1 of a two game series.
Wichita had led the entire game, after scoring a run in the Top of the 1st. Going into the Bottom of the 9th, the Jobbers led 2-1, with righty Jack Quinn on the mound.
Frank “Home Run” Baker led off the inning with a HR to tie it. Dode Paskert grounded out. And then Sherry Magee (pictured) stepped to the plate, with the Colonels fans on their feet and going crazy.
And Magee hits a walk off HR… on a Ballpark HR roll… in a Ballpark that is HR 1-1 for RH hitters, FlyB 2-20 (!)…. 20 sided is a “2”… chance for it to get robbed, or be a Bomb… 20 sided is a “2” again. Ballgame
Gotta love this game
