Ian Happ plays the wind for the walk off, a breakdown

In a tightly contested matchup between the Chicago Cubs and the Pittsburgh Pirates, the game heads into extra innings tied at 5-5. It's the bottom of the 11th inning and the Cubs have a runner on second base. Third baseman Patrick "KO Tuck" Wisdom steps up to the plate and successfully lays down a bunt, moving the runner over to third. The Pirates then make the strategic decision to intentionally walk the next batter, setting up a potential double play. With the game on the line, outfielder Ian Happ of the Cubs approaches the plate. As Happ looks out towards the field, he notices the flag blowing in the wind and quickly formulates a plan. "I know what I need to do here," Happ says to himself. "I need to hit myself a little wind ball." Happ steps into the box, ready to take advantage of the blustery conditions. On the first pitch, he lets it go, recognizing it's not the right "wind ball" pitch he's seeking. But on the next offering, Happ connects, sending a high fly ball into the air. The wind takes hold of the ball, causing it to dance and dance, making it nearly impossible for the Pirates' outfielder to track down. "Bam, wind ball," Happ exclaims, almost throwing his bat in excitement before holding back. As the ball continues to float, the Cubs' dugout erupts in celebration, knowing their teammate has outsmarted the elements. The ball eventually lands safely in the outfield, allowing the Cubs' runner to sprint home and score the game-winning run. Happ is immediately surrounded by his jubilant teammates, who douse him with water in celebration of the walk-off victory. "This is what winning feels like," Happ exclaims, reveling in the moment. "This is what using your advantage feels like." The Cubs' faithful cheer and wave their "W" flags, as the team secures a hard-fought win in this divisional matchup.
