Not all heroes wear capes.
When in doubt, trust the guy who batted .170 during the regular season to keep your playoff run alive. Right?
That’s exactly what the Colorado Rockies did on Tuesday night when Tony Wolters, who hadn’t recorded a hit since September 10, came up to bat in the 13th inning against the Chicago Cubs.
Tony Freaking Wolters, who spent most of the night on the bench before a double switch in the 12th inning, delivered with the game-winning RBI single to give the Rockies a 2-1 win over the Cubs in the NL Wild Card Game.
