It could not have been written any better, unless, of course, it was written better. Anyways, enough about me, picture it runners at the corners, one out, and Jeter walking to the plate. If this were the bottom of the ninth in Yankee Stadium you could guess the game would be over. On the road, the situation catches your eye, and Jeter hits it hard, right up the middle, for an anticipated lead going into the bottom of the inning. But NO! It bounces off the pitchers mound right into the glove of the second baseman Asdrubal Cabrera, who stepped on 2nd base, and fired it over to first to end the inning, double play. It was the weirdest thing, it hit the mound and right into the glove of Cabrera.
mlb.com : “I don’t think I could have thrown it any better to him,” said Jeter, who bounced out against winning pitcher Masa Kobayashi. “It happens. It’s just one of those things. I hit it good and I thought it was up the middle. It hit the mound and kicked to the right. Sometimes you’ve got luck on your side and other times you don’t.”
The Yankees lose another heart wrenching game on the road, and see their record on this road trip fall below .500 too at 3-4.
