Barger: 'I was being too aggressive' on game-ending double play

Blue Jays' Dramatic Loss in Game 6 of the World Series

The Toronto Blue Jays lost Game 6 in a dramatic fashion, with a game-ending double play.

Trailing 3-1 in the ninth inning, Addison Barger hit a double that got stuck between the outfield fence and the turf, allowing him and Myles Straw to score, but they were returned to their bases after the umpire signaled a ground-rule double.

"That's such a hard wall, so it's very impressive that the ball stuck in there,"

said Blue Jays outfielder Daulton Varsho, adding that the spot where the ball got stuck was likely the only place it could have happened.

The Blue Jays challenged the play, but the call was upheld, as a fair ball lodged in the outfield wall padding is considered a ground-rule double.

Addison Barger commented:
