This Day in Washington Nationals History – Imaginary Swing scores Four

September 29

2009 – The Washington Nationals (54-103) scored the tie-breaking run on errand throw by Luis Castillo of the New York Mets (67-91) and the Nats went on to win 4-3.

In the eighth inning Ian Desmond, grounded to shortstop, Anderson Hernandez who threw to second baseman Luis Castillo to force Guzman, but Castillo’s relay to first went into the Nats’ dugout and Justin Maxwell scored.

2012 – A strange play that had Michael Morse circle the bases for a grand slam after taking an imaginary swing and Kurt Suzuki broke a 10th-inning tie with a two-run double in the Washington Nationals (96-62) 6-4 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals (85-73).

The strange play happened in the first inning when Morse hit a line drive that cleared the right-field wall into a grassy area where the ball bounced off a video board and back onto the field. The First base umpire Chris Guccione called the ball in a play, and right fielder Carlos Beltran threw a relay to second baseman Skip Schumaker, who ran down Morse as he was going back toward first.

The umpires looked at video replays and confirmed it was indeed a home run. Then they made all runners to retrace their steps and put Morse back at the plate, where he made his swing without a bat and then rounded the bases.
