FULL: Mariners head to ALCS for 1st time since 2001! (Longest winner-take-all Postseason game EVER)

And it will be Crawford, A Rose Arena, and Raleigh against new right-hander Tommy Canley. [Applause] Pitched in game one, a scoreless seventh. Gave up the Cal Raleigh RBI in game three. Will be his third appearance of this series, fourth of the playoffs. Crawford was at the plate when Robas was cut down, stealing second. Ball one from Kanley as he throws a fast ball to start the night instead of a change up. I was just going to say if you haven’t seen Tommy Kanley pitch, he change up, change up, change up and he starts off JP Crawford with a heater. Of course, Crawford takes a change up on the corner. A generous call to even the count. Just before the fast, I was about to look at you and say, “Well, you have to sit change up right.” The 250th pitch thrown by a Tiger tonight is outside. Two and one. 460th pitch of the game coming [Applause] the two-1 to Crawford. Big cut and a fast ball. Two fast balls and one at bat. This is a guy who throw through 60 consecutive change ups in the postseason last year before Kik Hernandez of the Dodgers in the World Series saw a fast ball when Kanley was with the Yankees. Two- two pitch into right field. A base hit and a go ahead run as a board to lead off the 15 for Seattle. [Applause] change up well located. JP just went down and got it. He thought there was no way in the world that Kayley was going to double up on a fast ball. I think he just leaned out over there, stuck his nose out there, and made a good swing. Here’s a Rose Arena at the top of the order, and he gets hit. And that puts the winning run in scoring position for Cal Riley. One of the best hitters in baseball this year, the leader of the Mariners, an MVP candidate with a chance to end it. Strike one. Another fast ball from Kane Lee. Completely flipping the script. Nothing and one on Raleigh. [Applause] One and one. Kayley and he saw him take that first pitch fast ball. That should tell him he’s sitting change up, but it’s hard to double up if you’re Kayley. One-1 Raleigh popped up foul. One and two. And everybody said change up on Kangley though. I mean, yeah, it’s cool. He’s threw the fast ball, but you know, at the end of the day, he’s going to the change up. Crawford’s the winning run at second base. Raleigh into center field. Meadows started in, goes back, makes the catch. Profitable tag from second. He will advance. That ball gets away, but it’s backed up by Keley, but that’s going to allow Rosarena to go up to second. And the winning run is 90. Agonizing feet away for Seattle. You got to walkio here, don’t you? Base open at first. Open at first. And take your chance. You get a double play. I don’t I I don’t know what else what the other what else. You have no other play. Here we go. You have to sets up the force at it home. Sets up a double play and you just can’t pitch to Julio in that situation. The Tigers have turned an inning ending double play in each of the last two innings. Kanley hoping that maybe a change up can induce a ground ball here from Palano to try to send this to the 16th inning. Palanco with one swing could end the series. waved on and missed on a change up again. He knows it’s coming and he still is so far out in front of it. The defense here is kind of halfway. Glaver Torres. If it’s not hit right at you and you don’t think you can turn it, you got to come home. One and one. What do you think about where Jav’s playing right now? Well, Jav is in kind of a modified shift cuz you can’t shift anymore. They’re they’re taking away the ball up the middle because Kane throws so many change ups. One-1 to Palanco. Two and one. and anything to the outfield here. The game is over because with JP Crawford on third, the Tigers don’t have the arms to throw him out at the plate. Crawford the winning one at third. One out. The two-1 pitch to Palunko. Foul. Two and two on a change up. Little surprised they’re so deep in right field right here, AJ. Well, if it gets through it, the game’s over. Yeah, but a fly ball, I mean, you got to be able to throw him out of home. Can he do it from there? No, but if it’s hit that deep, he’s not throwing him out anyway. So, yeah, I agree with you. He probably should be in, but I throw him a heater right here and try and punch him out. Two two pitch. It was a heater. It was low. That runs the count full. There was nowhere to put swing. Auto take strategy going for 32. Palco sends it away and will send Seattle to the American League Championship Series for the first time in 24 years. [Applause] Heat. Heat. Heat. Heat. [Applause] Heat. Heat. [Applause] Heat up [Applause] here. [Applause] They will remember this night and this game and that swing in the Pacific Northwest forever. He got the change up and he finally got one through. Somebody finally came through to be the hero. Jorge Palano. What a game. One of the greatest playoff games we may ever see. ends in the 15th inning with the longest tenyard Mariner JP Crawford scoring the winning run. A 32 15 inning epic down to Tom Verduchi with Cal Raleigh. Thank you, Adam. Cal Raleigh, Seattle has waited 24 years to hear this. The Mariners are going to the ALCS to play for the American League pennant. What does this moment mean for you and this franchise? I mean, wow. I know what to say. The fans, what a game. Took so long. Holy. So, what a game. Unbelievable. So happy for our guys and the fans. Cal, both teams gave us an instant classic. We’ve never seen a game where two teams playing for their live playoff lives played this hard for this long. What was it like to be involved in this? I mean, I wish I could say it’s our first time, but we we did it against Houston a couple years ago, so it’s crazy, you know. Love our fans. They’re unbelievable. The fact they stayed and cheers on the song. They just love these guys here. Cal, take me through that 15th inning as it began to unfold as it moved toward Jorge Palano who’s been so clutch for you in this postseason. He was huge. He was huge all series. Uh had great confidence in him when he get up. Unbelievable at bat and just so happy with our guys. And finally, the job that your bullpen did. We saw starters coming out for the first time in their careers. What about the job by a core of relief pitchers? Everybody was great. You know, I have so much you I’m so happy for those guys. They they did amazing. It was such a tough night and everybody put their other stuff aside and did everything for the team, including Logan and Louis. So, you know, just huge props to those guys. Unbelievable. Cal, we will see you in the ALCS. How does that sound? Sounds great. I’ll see you there. [Applause] All right, Jerry first. [Applause]
