Almost Perfect

Binghamton Mets starter Jonah Tong was one out shy of a perfect game when the team’s manager, Reid Brignac, pulled him from the game.☹️

One away! 1️⃣‼️

❓Several more pitches would have made that big a difference?🤷‍♂️ (Tong threw 13 pitches to get the first 2️⃣ outs in the final inning.)
