After trailing 5-3 heading into the 9th inning and with the bases loaded, Sosa drove in two runs with an RBI single to left field. That evened the score at five, and then the Nats would get out of the inning to force extras. After not scoring a run with a runner on second thanks to another big play by Sosa, the Nats put themselves in a tough position for the 10th inning.
Crawford would come to bat and knock in the game-winning run with a single to right field.
Philadelphia has won two straight games to fight its way back to .500 early in the season.
This big win for the Phillies has fans going wild on social media. Philly fans are some of the most passionate fans in the world, and they won't ever settle down even after winning championships. The fans showed their love for the rookie Andrew Painter last night after his first career win.

This ballclub can be electric when they are all putting it together, as they did late in the game today. The Nationals have played above their expectations to start the season and put up a good fight for this entire series against the Phillies. Seeing Bryce Harper hit a home run in this game against his former team to help them come back in the 8th and 9th innings is what makes this team very dangerous. They are never out of it.
