Casey Schmitt loves his mom. And he loves your mom too. In fact, he loves all the moms who were in attendance at Oracle Park on Sunday afternoon, and he showed them that love with a Mother’s Day gift: a two-out, two-strike walk-off two-bagger in the 10th when no mom, or mom-affiliate, wanted to see it go to the 11th.

Bad things were going to happen in the 11th. Elly De La Cruz, the stealiest man in baseball, was going to start the inning on second base as the Manfred Runner.
