Unlike some other sports, baseball’s version of “overtime” isn’t sudden death. Still, the team that scores first in extra innings wins the game more often than not.
That wasn’t the case on this day 15 years ago for the Florida Marlins. Down to their last out, the Marlins pushed across two runs in the bottom of the 13th inning to stun the Atlanta Braves, 6-5, on the evening of June 29, 2005.
The Marlins trailed 4-2 heading to the bottom of the ninth, but plated two runs against Atlanta closer Chris Reitsma.
