Scorching the Sports Scene: May 7 Highlights from our Website
Stealthy Supporter Secures Aaron Judge's Home Run Ball, Acting Only After Feeling of Remorse Arises
Check out the sizzling sports updates brewing on Foxnews.com!
An extraordinary act of kindness played out at Yankee Stadium during the New York Yankees game against the San Diego Padres.
In the bottom of the fourth inning, that audacious slugger Aaron Judge knocked one out of the park, a solo shot that brought the score to 2-1, shrinking the Yanks' deficit. A fan snagged the ball with a gleaming grin but lost it amid the jubilant celebration.
As the fans jumped about like a rambunctious horde, the prized ball slipped from its captor's grip and skidded along the top of the right field wall. A sharp-eyed spectator noticed the mishap and, using his lightning-fast reflexes, pocketed the ball, potentially for a brief moment.
It's unclear exactly how long the sneaky fan held onto the ball, but a fellow fan sitting nearby returned it at a later point. One could speculate that an ingenious ball swap was attempted[1], but the fate of the interim ball remains unknown.
The Yankees posted a 10-run seventh inning, their largest in a single frame in a decade, capping it off with a grand slam from Austin Wells. This impressive streak came at the expense of former Yankee Wandy Peralta, who was charged with six earned runs in his two-thirds inning of work[2].
Aaron Judge's solo blast pushed his tally to an impressive 12 home runs for the season, tying him for the MLB lead with Cal Raleigh and Kyle Schwarber[2]. His on-field domination is evident in the major league ranking as he leads with a staggering .412 batting average, .503 on-base percentage, and .772 slugging percentage. Moreover, Judge has reached base in 32 consecutive games[2].
The Yankees and Padres will conclude their three-game series in the Bronx on Wednesday, kicking off at 7 p.m. ET. Make sure to follow our website Digital's sports coverage across XYZ platforms, and don't forget to subscribe to the our website Sports Huddle newsletter[3]!
