Description: Cristian Pache Little League Three-Run Home Run (Officially Single with Error) & Tony Kemp Missed Bunt. Shipped USPS Priority. Buyer pays shipping and handling. On April 14, 2022, the Oakland Athletics visited the Tampa Bay Rays at Tropicana Field. Cole Irvin started for the A’s, while Josh Fleming went for the Rays. In the top of the second, Billy McKinney led off by striking out. Elvis Andrus singled to Manuel Margot. Kevin Smith singled. Austin Allen flew out. Cristian Pache walked to the plate. With the count 0-1, FLEMING HELD THIS BALL IN HIS HAND!! He threw an 89.9-mph sinker for a called strike. (Yes, that means Mike Zunino also touched this ball!!) Fleming came back with a changeup for a ball. He threw another changeup for a ball. Fleming threw a 91.9-mph sinker, and PACHE SMACKED THIS BALL 101.9 MPH TO LEFT-CENTERFIELD!! RANDY AROZARENA TRIED TO FIELD THIS BALL, BUT MUFFED THE PLAY FOR AN ERROR!! THE BALL SCOOTED PAST KEVIN KIERMAIER, WHO BACKED UP AROZARENA!! ANDRUS SCORED!! THIS BALL ROLLED TO THE WALL!! KIERMAIER JUGGLED THE BALL!! SMITH SCORED!! PACHE KEPT ROUNDING THE BASES!! KIERMAIER FINALLY GOT THE BALL BACK INTO THE INFIELD, BUT PACHE HAD ALREADY SCORED!! Officially, it was a single and an error with no RBI. Unofficially, it was a classic Little League three-run home run!! Fleming actually got this ball back. Tony Kemp was at bat (likely exhausted from waving his arms so much encouraging everyone to score on the last play!). Fleming threw a 91.3-mph four-seamer, and KEMP MISSED THIS BALL TRYING TO BUNT!! This ball was then retired. Kemp eventually ended the half inning by striking out. The A’s won the game 6-3. This ball is MLB Authenticated for Pache’s single, Arozarena’s error, runs by Andrus, Smith, and Pache, and Kemp’s missed bunt. The ball is not Authenticated as a Little League home run since MLB obviously doesn’t officially score a play like one in Little League. Thank you for purchasing!!
