A victory lap: the script of a good game

No one can write the script of a good game better than a game playing out on its own.  The hilarious come from behind win of Pittsburgh Pirates against Miami Marlins tonight is another example.  Pittsburgh Pirates trailed 0 to 3 at the top of 3rd inning and tied 3 to 3 at the bottom of 8th inning, the bases are loaded and nobody out for the Pirates and yet the Bucs came out empty (Alvarez was struck out followed by a double play to end the inning).  What a disappointment! I thought this was an ominous sign that Pirates will lose the game.  Then Pirates’ Josh Harrison had a walk-off homer at the bottom of the 9th inning; a much more dramatic ending; a climax of the game.  The photo shows how Harrison reacted to the homer while running around the bases (a victory lap).
