Tim Anderson wrote his own movie script by belting a walk-off homer to cap a thrilling Field of Dreams Game.
DYERSVILLE, Iowa — Is this heaven?
Some White Sox fans might have felt that sort of ultimate euphoria following a thrilling 9–8 victory over the Yankees on Thursday night during the inaugural Field of Dreams Game.
But in reality, it wasn’t heaven. It was just Tim Anderson stepping into the limelight where he loves to live and excel.
After the Yankees (63–52) scored four runs in the top of the ninth to claim an 8–7 advantage, the shortstop launched a walk-off two-run homer into the corn in right field against Yanks lefty Zack Britton to improve the White Sox (68–48) division lead to a robust 11 1/2 games over Cleveland and Detroit.
