A Pitchers Game
Can you explain how a baseball pitcher could win a nine-inning game without once pitching to a batter?
Answer
He could if he were a substitute pitcher brought into the game at the top of the ninth inning with the score tied, two outs, and a man on first base. If he then picked the man off at first base, the side would be retired and his team would come to bat. If his team then scored the winning run, in the bottom of the ninth, he would be the winner without ever having pitched to a single batter.Hide Answer Show Answer
