It's the sixth and final batter of the game, and he's just about to hit a home run when the ball hits the fence and lands just shy of the third base line. This is the first time in the game that the opposing team has been able to get a hit off the bat of the opposing pitcher, and it's a big one. They're trying to figure out what to do with the extra pitch, and they're not having any luck. The only thing they can do is try to get the ball to the third baseman, who's about to catch it, but he doesn't have the speed to get back to the first baseman. They need a big hit to tie the game up, and that's what they manage to do.
