José Bautista had just gotten his first Olympic hit, extending the Dominican Republic s tournament with a walkoff single that capped a ninth-inning rally and eliminated surprising Israel.
Of course, that bat was going to get flipped.
“It s part of this New Age baseball thing that s happening,” the 40-year-old said after Tuesday night s 7-6 victory. “It started in winter ball a few years ago. It s just kind of giving a little bit of your own flavor to the game, a little bit of celebrating the excitement of getting a hit.”
