Pete Crow-Armstrong and the Chicago Cubs rallied late against the Athletics to secure a 7-6 victory on Thursday, June 4, at Wrigley Field.
Crow-Armstrong had his first career walk-off as Chicago needed a four-run ninth inning to help prevent a three-game series sweep.
"We've stayed in the fight all year,” Crow-Armstrong told reporters after the game. “We've been fighting through these last couple of weeks. This kind of stuff is exactly what we are capable of."
He singled to right field on a pitch by Athletics pitcher Luis Medina while facing a 1-1 count with two outs and runners on second and third base.
The single allowed Seiya Suzuki to score the winning run.
Crow-Armstrong’s heroics helped ease what was a forgettable moment in his career, after he allowed an inside-the-park home run earlier in the game.
With a 2-0 lead in the top of the 6th inning, Shea Langeliers of the Athletics hit the ball 358 feet into center field before it landed behind Crow-Armstrong, who appeared to have lost the ball in the lights. Langeliers’ inside-the-park home run also brought in Henry Bolte to improve the score to 4-0.
Crow-Armstrong responded quickly in the bottom of the inning, hitting a homer 383 feet to right field and putting his team on the scoreboard.
He finished the game 2-for-4 with a home run and two RBIs.
Crow-Armstrong has already had his share of blunders this season, having whiffed on a line drive that led to a "Little League home run" against the Milwaukee Brewers back in May.
