No. 4: Phillies hit two walk-offs in one game

Sep. 12 was a wild night for the Phillies despite it being a meaningless game in the end. The Phillies rallied from a 7-2 deficit to bring the game within one run of the Marlins. Rhys Hoskins started the rally with a monster home run in the bottom of the seventh inning before they put together a three-run eighth inning.

The ninth inning is where things started to get crazy. Nick Williams was hit by a pitch, Maikel Franco singled, and J.P. Crawford walked to load the bases with one out for pinch-hitter Hyun-Soo Kim. Kim singled into right field, scoring Williams with ears. Cesar Hernanedz, who pinch-ran for Franco, also appeared to have scored and the team celebrated what they thought was a walk-off win. Instead, Hernandez was ruled out after a replay review, leaving the game tied.

Marcell Ozuna led off the top of the 10th inning with a home run, putting Philadelphia behind 8-7. Freddy Galvis and Aaron Altherr recorded two quick outs in the bottom of the inning, leaving Hoskins as the last hope. Hoskins delivered, hitting his second home run of the game to once again tie it up.

The game stretched well into the night until Williams scored Altherr on a double. This walk-off was unquestionable, finally sending everyone home after a nearly five-hour game.
