First pitch inside to Kurt Wilson, who looks at him, says, I didn't like that. Don't come inside again. Comes inside again. Doesn't like it again. The 2-1 ball, but outside. That's good. And then they say he did not swing. So he's off to first base. He represents the winning run for Texas Tech, trying to beat number two seed Texas. Dives back to first. Dives back to first again. They're trying to pick him off. He's like, this sucks. I don't like it. Now, this pitcher on Texas, one, just looks like a Texas pitcher, just kind of built like one. Looks down. Every time he gets set, he does like three pumps, like rocking motions with his leg. As he's looking down, 2-0 pitch. The next kid is a strike. And then another pickoff. So they're worried about this guy, because he's the winning run. He scores. The game's over. And uh-oh. Walks another batter. So now he's got two on. And now the winning run, Wilson is at second base. And over here, the pitcher actually does a good job holding him on. Looks at him. Looks back. Looks at him again. Looks back. He doesn't do his normal routine. It doesn't last long. They bunt the runner over. They get the out at first. And now, the third base coach gets in Wilson's ear, and he's like, hey, gonna need you to watch something. As soon as he gets the sign, he looks down. One Mississippi. Two Mississippi. Three Mississippi. Rocks his foot for three seconds, then looks back up for the pitch. Look. One Mississippi. Two Mississippi. Three Mississippi. And then up. Hope you're noticing this, Wilson. That's probably what the third base coach is saying. One Mississippi. Two Mississippi. Three Mississippi. And then up. Real bad rhythm. Real bad pattern. He should probably change it. One Mississippi. Two Mississippi. Three Mississippi. And up. Okay. Here's the one-two pitch. And he gets the strikeout, though. So now this pitcher, oh, third base coach just letting him know, hey, we get the two strikes here. You gotta take off. Maybe he said that. Maybe he didn't. It's what happens. Spoiler. So one Mississippi. Two Mississippi. Three Mississippi. Up. First pitch to this kid, and they got a lefty up now. So the lane home to slide in is there. One Mississippi. Two Mississippi. Three. The oh-one pitch. Another strike. So now this guy's one strike away from getting out of this jam with the go-ahead runner on third, only he never gets the option. Watch how this plays out. Gets the sign. Looks down. He's in his own element. Everyone's screaming. Everyone up. Game over. Doesn't even know what's happening. Wilson's screaming in his face. Steals home to win the game. Incredible. Also incredible that the pitcher lets that happen. I mean, it's an easy fix. That's the good thing. Moving forward, super easy fix. But the entire stadium knew what was happening before he did. I don't think the batter and the umpire knew. I don't think the home plate umpire, like, ever knew what the batter clearly did right here. Like, the umpire, I don't think he knows what's happening. I think he is like, what? And then he looks at him, he goes, oh, he scored. And you look here, I have the guy up here as he's second to no. Catcher obviously first, because if you go to the beginning of the play, the catcher, as the pitcher looks down, the catcher is now looking at the runner, who at this point has taken off. The catcher's like, hey, hey, hey. But everyone had to be yelling. I mean, the whole crowd erupts. This guy points, then the runner on second starts cheering, and the pitcher hears none of this. Because the pitcher, you can see when he deflates, when, so he's still, I don't think he still understands right here. I think it's right there. It's right when his arms kind of drop, like, right, look at the pitcher's arms. I don't think he knows at all. I think he's in such his own element. I think he looks up here and still is like, what's everyone yelling about? And then the guy slides, and he's like, oh, ----. I get it now. We had this cool angle, shot from the stands, where you can see, look at this. Come on, pitch. He's looking down, looking down, looking down. He gets so far. That fan was easily, easily the first to know. First one up award goes to that dude. He beat his section by a lot, and the guy gets so far. Look how far the runner is before the pitcher even looks up. It's so stupid. And then we have the in the dugout shot matched up. You can see him getting off here, goes back, and then just takes off, and nobody notices. The entire stadium notices. The entire stadium besides the pitcher notices. The guy on second tosses his helmet. You can see on the bottom screen, right here, he's running down here, and you're going to see him toss his helmet, and then up here, top screen, you're going to see that land right in front of the coach. Bam, right there. It's a cool double shot, the dugout and the fan shot. Well, does it get any better than that for Kurt Wilson? It sure does. They do their chant. They sing. They smile. He sticks his tongue out a little bit. The very next day, they're in the 10th inning again. The bases are loaded. They're tied 12 to 12, and our dude Kurt Wilson is up 1-0 pitch. He's rocking and rolling and rocking, feeling good about himself. How could you not? Walked it off yesterday by stealing home. Now, you're going to hit a walk-off grand slam. Absolutely, he is.
