Allen, who scored 37 points against Connecticut in the first round, also committed three turnovers. It’s approaching two generations since Cincinnati baseball fans have experienced the unexpected, eternal joy of Wire to Wire, symbolized by Eric Davis’ 1st-inning home run on a winsome fall night. That can make you sad and sharpen your appreciation, all at once. As Davis tells it, the homer had its origins the year before, at the All-Star Game. Davis batted 5th for the National League. The first pitch Davis saw from Stewart was a fastball that he took for a strike.
That ended Chicago's 108-year World Series drought. The Indians -- again led by Davis, who represented the tying run following an RBI single -- fell short, but just barely. And with the bases loaded and two out in the eighth inning and Washington manager Dave Martinez going to his own closer, Sean Doolittle, to lock things down, it looked like 1-0 might turn out to be the final score. But there’s little doubt that whatever was said in that powwow on Monday, in which Callaway emerged still having a job, had a discernible effect on the way the team has gone about its business over the ensuing three days. The crack was meant as a joke and was received as such by the media corps in attendance.
'I was feeling very confident. Beyond confident.'

With a runner on first and two outs, Cubs manager Joe Maddon handed the ball to Chapman, who promptly allowed a run-scoring double to Brandon Guyer to narrow Chicago's lead to 6-4. That's when Davis, he of just five hits in his first 38 postseason at-bats, ripped a 98-mph fastball over the left-field wall, sending his dugout and the crowd into a frenzy with the latest-occurring game-tying home run in a World Series Game 7. During batting practice, the Oakland hitters played homerun derby and generally clowned around. Many years later, their manager Tony La Russa said he knew his team was in trouble when he saw his players playing longball in BP.
Musselman said that Toney’s dunk following Davis’ feed was “the perfect exclamation point” to the team’s run and something of a reward for Toney's efforts defending Allen. After Arkansas forward Jaylin Williams deflected a post-entry pass by New Mexico State guard Teddy Allen, Davis, with a lightning quick right hand, tapped the basketball to himself from between two Aggies and took off running. Roughly 10 feet from the halfcourt line, Davis made more magic happen. And it led to the sequence of the night for the Razorbacks, who are moving on to the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament for the second consecutive season.
Davis electrifies Game 7 with tying 2-run blast
We strive to give our residents an unparalleled experience with new homes, expert management, new paved streets and off-street parking, garages or lawn sheds on each lot, low maintenance and taxes, and much more. A two-out double off the top of the wall in center by Sydney Kuma set up Mosley for a two-run go-ahead home run in the bottom of the inning to go up 2-1. The Spartans (41-5) touched home in the top of the third on an RBI single to center to go ahead 1-0. "They remember exactly where they were and exactly what they were doing," Davis said. "And they share those moments with me. I've even been able to share it with former players and Hall of Famers." Finally, on the seventh pitch of the plate appearance, on a pitch that Davis said Chapman may have slowed up on a little bit , Cleveland's last hope connected on a ball to deep left.
On the special anniversary, the 14-year big league vet helped take us through the night from start to finish. Davis’ teammates, as well as Musselman, were quick to pass credit to the guard for making key free throws late and playing his role in one of Arkansas’ best defensive performances of the season. The Razorbacks limited the Aggies to 34% from the field and Allen to 3 of 10 on two-point attempts.
Thoughts from Hogs' pre-SEC basketball games
The North Side of Chicago was minutes from pure pandemonium. Surely, the baseball gods wouldn't allow them to let this one slip away. Scottie Bordelon is a reporter for WholeHogSports.com.

Senior Lacey Fincher also added two hits in the game. The pair combined for 50 percent of Georgia's eight hits. Five years ago, Davis -- a man with just 12 homers during the 2016 regular season and known more for his speed than power -- hit one of the most surprising game-tying home runs in playoff history. A Dave Stewart fastball, at the knees and nipping the outside corner. A bat held low, a flick of the wrists, a classic Eric Davis swing. A quick flight of the baseball to straightaway center.
For one thing, Callaway finally bowed to the inevitable and conceded that yes, closer Edwin Diaz might on occasion have to get more than three outs in one night. And that yes, Jeurys Familia has failed in his role as Diaz’ set-up man, and as long as Seth Lugo remains on the IL, pitchers such as Drew Gagnon and Tyler Bashlor would have the opportunity to audition to fill the vacancy. I’m not here to spin some sappy fairy tale about how a meeting earlier in the week between the team owner, its GM and its manager turned the season around for a faltering ballclub. The ineptitude of the Nationals, and in particular its generous bullpen, have more than done their part to right the Mets’ ship after their lost weekend in Miami. But it’s doubtful he has ever hit one under more bizarre circumstances, or one that caused his manager to smile as widely as Mickey Callaway did after the Mets come-from-behind 6-1 win over the Washington Nationals.
A Reds ballpark would never be so alive again. Reds fans have never been so happy since. A tradition begun in 1876, nurtured for decades and loved beyond measure in the Big 1970s rediscovered itself. All it took was Eric Davis, hitting a two-run homer and finding a sweet spot in time. Much of the play-by-play, game results, and transaction information both shown and used to create certain data sets was obtained free of charge from and is copyrighted by RetroSheet. "It's going to hurt. It hurts because we care, but they need to walk with their head held high," Indians manager Terry Francona said, "because they left nothing on the field. And that's all the things we ever ask them to do. They tried until there was nothing left."
Every time the night of Game 7 is brought up at a gathering of former teammates, it's a hot topic of conversation. Our hope as fans owes to Moments such as this. Old, new, unforeseen, but always unsinkable, always forever, just beneath the surface, where the soul lies.
Someday, there will be another night, not unlike the one 32 seasons ago, when Eric Davis hit a home run and our joy closed down the place. Another flyball to deep, deep centerfield. A return to the A’s would be quite the comeback story. Traded to Texas in February in a five-player deal that netted the A’s shortstop Elvis Andrus, Davis struggled with the Rangers to the point that he was released after playing only 22 games and hitting .157 with two homers. Two-thirds of the way through Wednesday night’s game, deGrom's numbers with Nido had improved to two runs allowed in 27 innings. But with Max Scherzer throwing for Washington, that one run, on a first-inning home run by Adam Eaton, Todd Frazier’s nemesis, had held up.
It's not the World Series, but Davis' home run feels just as big to the Mets

NEW YORK -- Rajai Davis has hit much bigger home runs, in more important games, than the one he hit in the eighth inning Wednesday night at Citi Field. Sophomore Madison Kerpics worked three and two-thirds innings in her start in the circle, allowing two runs on four hits. Britton Rogers (9-1) earned the win in the circle, working four and a third innings out of the pen, allowing just one run on three hits. Rogers fanned five Spartans in her outing. Junior Sara Mosley's hot streak continued with two hits and driving in three of Georgia's five runs. Her 14thhome run of the season puts her in the team lead in the category.
