Colorado Rockies: Tony Wolters reflects on his history-making hit

Catcher Tony Wolters, hitting .170 during the regular season, came into the Wild Card Game in the 12th inning on a double switch. When his turn in the Colorado Rockies batting order came up in the bottom of the 13th, Wolters stepped into the batter’s box and eventually into history.

Facing Kyle Hendricks with two outs, Wolters went down 0-2 in the count but sent a fastball back up the middle for a single to score Trevor Story. That hit would prove to be the difference and send Colorado on to the National League Division Series.
