Tyson's Big Game | Sports Photography

This last week I took a long weekend trip down to Southern California with my family to visit my Brother and Sister. The Vanguard University Lions (where my Brother plays baseball) were playing a four game series against Point Loma Nazarene University (where my Sister goes to school). The Lions (my alma mater) had a rough go against Point Loma this year losing 3 out of 4 games. Terrible I know, but there was some excitement in the last game and my Brother came out the hero. Vanguard was losing 2-0 and then in the 6th inning Tyson came up and tied the game with his first home run of the day. With the score at 2-1 Vanguard got a man on base with 2 outs and Tyson came to the plate. It's important to note that the second game of double headers are always 7 innings. So, Tyson comes up with 2 outs in the bottom of the last inning and smokes a ball over the right-center field wall to win the game. The funny thing is Point Loma had been intentionally walking Tyson every time he had a runner in scoring position for the entire series... so I'm not sure why they wouldn't walk him in this most important situation, but that's a mistake they have to live with and one we got to enjoy. So, the bottom photo is Tyson's first home run and the top photo is his walk-off. Enjoy! We certainly did.
