Phillies' Crawford Heroics Spark Wild Comeback

0:00On April 1st, Philadelphia Phillies pulled off a wild comeback, rallying from a 4-run hole to beat the Washington Nationals 6-5-10 innings. Rookie Justin Crawford delivered the game-winning RBI single in the bottom of the 10th, his third hit of the 9th. The Nats jumped ahead 5-1 by the 7th, thanks to CJ Abrams' 3-run Homer. But Phillies catcher J.T. Real Muto and Bryce Harper smash back-to-back solo shots to cut it to 5-3. Then Edmundo Sosa came through with a 2-run single in the 9th, bases loaded in 2-outs to tie things up. Fans win Nuts over Sosa's highlight real catch in the top of the 10th, leaping to snag a line drive from Abrams and doubling off the runner-at. 2nd Crawford, a first-round pick from 2022 who debuted on opening day, just kept delivering in his big league moment.
