Rays Keep Season Alive With Walkoff Homer Into Rays Tank
Facing elimination for the fourth time in eight days, the Rays overcame a blown Fernando Rodney save to extend their season and beat the Red Sox thanks to a ninth-inning Jose Lobaton homer that ended up in the center field fish tank.
It's only the third homer to find the ray tank since it was installed in 2006, and the first-ever by a Rays player. Note carefully the fan who misses the ball is wearing a Dan Johnson jersey; that otherwise-forgettable player serves a pretty big role in Rays playoff lore.
