A majority of MLB players finish their careers without a walk-off home run. For someone to do it twice in two days is the rarest of rare occurrence.
For Baltimore Orioles outfielder Colton Cowser, though, he just lived out a dream with that exact scenario.
Colton Cowser plays hero again for Baltimore Orioles
A day after delivering a walk-off, three-run home run against the Detroit Tigers, Cowser had a chance to deliver again. In the bottom of the 13th inning against the Tampa Bay Rays on Monday, Cowser stepped to the plate with the winning run on second base.
In a 2-1 count, Cowser got a hanging slider and, 425 feet later, he’d hit his second walk-off home run in as many days. Cowser had never had a walk-off hit prior to Sunday, but he now has two to his name.
