Rays even it up

This weekend i read an article about the exciting 2008 baseball post season. It includes such teams as Boston, Tampa Bay, Phillies and Los Angeles. The article i read was about the second game of the Tampa Bay and Boston series. The defending champions, Boston, came into the game one game up on this years surprise team, Tampa Bay Rays. Since loosing The "Devil" the rays took a road to heaven and are in the post season for the first time in franchise history. The game was approximately Five hours and twenty seven minutes and ended around one thirty A.M.. The starting pitchers, Scott Kazmir and Josh Beckett, did not have their best stuff. With a total of 27 runs on the night, it was a very intense game. So intense that it went into extra innings. In the bottom of the eleventh inning it was tied eight to eight, with a man third. This man so happened to be Fernando Perez, who is very speedy. B.J. Upton was up to bat, he hit a shallow pop up to right field. Perez tagged up at third, the right fielder rifled the ball home, but was no match for the quickness of Perez. When Perez slid into home plate, the Tampa Bay bench cleared and trampled Perez and Upton for winning the game. The previous "dud" team, just beat the defending World Series Champions.
This just goes to show you that if you try hard enough, and put your heart into something, you will accomplish your goal.
