10-year Marliniversary: Marlins use error to score two in ninth, stun Mets
Photo by Nick Laham/Getty Images Winning in your last at-bat is always thrilling. On this day 10 years ago, the Florida Marlins did just that with the help of a miscue.
A throwing error by the second baseman was the difference at Citi Field on Aug. 2, 2011. The Marlins pushed across two runs in the ninth to stun the New York Mets, 4-3.
The Marlins trailed 3-2 heading to the top of the ninth as New York went to closer Jason Isringhausen. The right-hander immediately ran into trouble.
