A near no-hitter (and not the good kind) in crowd reactions

It was the bottom of the ninth inning, with one out and Jean Segura at first. Mitch Haniger swung on the first pitch he saw from Joakim Soria, who had come in to replace starter Dylan Covey, who had allowed just two hits in eight and a third innings. The 91 MPH fastball collided with Haniger’s bat, soaring up, up, and away...into 27-year-old utility player Leury Garcia’s outstretched glove.

This game stunk, so instead of dwelling on the fact that Dee Gordon recorded the first hit of the night on his single in the sixth, or the fact that, before Gordon’s hit the Mariners had made Covey throw just 49 pitches (the most pitches Covey threw in a single inning was 15), the game will be told in individual reactions from this catch.
