Bobby Witt Jr. found himself in a pivotal moment in the bottom of the ninth inning at Kauffman Stadium, with the Royals trailing by two runs. As he prepared to face Mariners pitcher Ryne Stanek, Witt confidently approached his teammates in the dugout and asked, “Y’all like walk-offs?” Little did they know, Witt’s question would prove prophetic.
In a thrilling comeback, the Royals overcame a significant deficit to defeat the Mariners 10-9 in the first game of a three-game series. Witt played a crucial role in the rally, delivering a game-tying triple. Despite the Mariners initially leading by eight runs, including a 7-0 lead after the first inning, the Royals managed to secure the victory.

Witt’s triple, which lasted just under 11 seconds, showcased his remarkable speed and skill. With a calm demeanor and a practiced approach, he effortlessly rounded the bases, capitalizing on an opportunity when he noticed the left fielder’s positioning. Manager Matt Quatraro had no doubt about the outcome as soon as the ball left Witt’s bat.
Witt’s performance further solidified his standout season, boasting an impressive batting average and ranking second in triples in the American League. His clutch hit exemplified the Royals’ resilience and ability to mount come-from-behind victories. With Witt leading the charge, the Royals continue to defy expectations and demonstrate their competitive edge.
