While the series provided for many iconic moments, game 7 goes down in history. A 10-inning, one-run game. However, we almost didn’t get that far. In the top of the 8th, Lonnie Smith with one out, singled…the next batter Terri Pendleton, on a hit and run, hit a deep double to left, but Smith was duped by the middle infielders into thinking it was a ground ball and didn’t score on the play. David Justice then walked to load the bases…just before Sid Bream hits into a rare double play to end the inning. What was the scoring notation of that double play? (Write as if filling out your baseball scorebook…hint, 6-4-3 isn’t it.)
3-2-3
