MLB Authenticated-NATS WIN #22!-Howie Kendrick SINGLE & Brian Dozier DOUBLE Ball

Description

MLB Authenticated - Howie Kendrick Single AND Brian Dozier Double Ball - WIN #22. On May 23, the Washington Nationals lost their 31st game and were effectively eliminated from contention with a record of 19-31. Well, if you’re a Nats fan, you know it ain’t over till it’s over, and this story has a happy ending. Three days later, the Miami Marlins visited the Nationals at Nats Park. The Nats had won back-to-back and were hoping to start a little streak. In the bottom of the 2nd, Howie Kendrick hit a HR (not with this ball) to get the Nats on the board. In the bottom of the third, Erick Fedde led off against Caleb Smith with a ground out. Trea Turner popped out. With two outs, Adam Eaton doubled to the gap in right. Smith then intentionally walked Anthony Rendon (smart move - he’s not called Tony Twobags for nothing). Juan Soto walked to load the bases. HOWIE KENDRICK then walked to the plate. He took the first pitch for a strike and the next two for balls. Kendrick fouled off the fourth pitch. With the count 2-2, SMITH HELD THIS BALL IN HIS HAND!! He threw Kendrick a 94 mph four seamer. Kendrick RIPPED A LINE DRIVE to Austin Dean in LF. EATON SCORED! RENDON SCORED! Soto ended up on 3B, and Kendrick advanced to 2B. Smith got THIS BALL back. BRIAN DOZIER walked to the plate. Smith couldn’t IBB Dozier with Robles batting next. Besides, there were two outs. Smith threw THIS BALL for a called strike, a 83.9 mph slider. Smith came back with a 93.5 four seamer. DOZIER BELTED THIS BALL INTO THE GAP IN DEEP CENTER FOR A DOUBLE. SOTO SCORED! KENDRICK SCORED! Dozier ended up on second. The Nats would go on to beat the Marlins 9-6 and continue on with an amazing run all the way to a World Series Championship!! This ball is MLB Authenticated for three pitches, including Howie Kendrick’s single, Brian Dozier’s double, and four RBI!! What a life this ball had!! Thank you for purchasing!!
