    Braxton Davidson injiures self on title winning walk-off HR in AFC final (updated)

    These are the kind of things that cannot be imagined. Only in actual fact that newly awakened slugger Braxton Davidson hits a game-winning homer in the bottom of the 10th, but has to be helped off field after he suffered a sprained ankle as he ran around the bases.

    Peoria trailed Salt River 2-0 going into the bottom of the ninth, but tied it on a wild pitch and an RBI single. Davidson, who hit six homers during the AFL regular season, homered with one out in the 10th for the 3-2 win. Davidson had driven in 14 runs over his last nine regular season games.

    AFL Finals, Saturday, Nov. 17th
    Peoria 3, Salt River 2 (10)

    Pache 1-5, K
    Wilson 0-1 (PH)
    Davidson 2-5, HR, RBI, 2 K

    (Peoria ends reg. season 21-9 with walkoff win)

    Pache 1-3, R, BB (.279)

    It wasn't "in the scrum" FWIW - he grimaced and started hopping on one leg about three strides before he reached the plate. It wasn't a Kendrys Morales scene, but it did remind you of it.

    The homer was one of those absolute no-doubters though - even the announcers knew it was gone at the moment of contact.

    Has there EVER been a statement and question a certain someone should absolutely never have made and asked publicly more than...

    Kinda pathetic to see yourself as a message board knight in shining armor. How impotent does someone have to be in real life to resort to playing hero on a message board?

    Later report indicates it was only a mid-ankle sprain pending results of the MRI.
