David and Goliath

Jhonkensy Noel and David Fry played heroes last night in Cleveland for the hometown Guardians in their come-from-behind, ten-inning 7-5 win over the Yankees. Noel blasted a two-out, game-tying homerun in the bottom of the ninth while Fry launched a 1-2 pitch for the game winner. Both balls may still be travelling. They were, as White Sox fans might say, upper-tank shots. The crowd went delirious, and no one looked entitled, just Midwestern glad to see David take down Goliath. But David needs to do that three more times for it to count. Go, Guardians. Make Aaron Judge chase down balls in centerfield.
