The Rockies didn’t make the playoffs, but they ended their season with some excitement. Trevor Story delivered one of their final highlights with a walk-off win. Facing Matt Albers, Story watched a few inside pitches miss badly. Albers shifted back outside, but Story was ready. He flicked one high into right field, thinking it might stay foul. Instead, it dropped fair, and he took off, rounding first and second fired up as the bench exploded.
It was one of four Rockies walk-offs that month. The dugout stormed the field with the usual chaos—horns, gum, Gatorade, and even a knocked-over cameraman. Charlie Blackmon added a little drama, sneaking up behind Story before launching into a spin and some dance moves. The team wasn’t headed to the postseason, but they made sure the final moments at Coors Field had some life.
During the postgame, Story admitted he thought the ball was drifting foul but figured the “juiced ball” helped it carry. He called it crushed, tried to keep talking about the hit, but the team kept swarming him with jokes and interruptions. It was loose, fun, and probably exactly what the team needed as they wrapped up a rough year.
