The Marlins came back from a 7-0 deficit Thursday night, scoring ten runs in the 8th inning to blow out the Diamondbacks 14-7.
Down by seven runs in the fifth inning, the Florida Marlins kept on hacking.
They didn’t stop until they had scored a franchise-record 10 runs in the eighth inning and stormed back for a 14-7 victory over the Arizona Diamondbacks on Thursday night.
Pinch-hitter Brett Carroll’s three-run homer was the biggest hit in the biggest inning in team history.
Florida matched the team record for the biggest comeback victory and Arizona set a club record for the largest blown lead.
Fourteen runs represents the most the Marlins scored this season, and the most since opening day when they scored 12. It’s the sixth time they’ve scored in double digits, the fifth time since June 1.
This inning perfectly demonstrated how important the ‘range’ of the infielders is; I counted at least 6 of the hits in the inning that either went through the glove, just under/past the dive or went fielded cleanly that meant the inning continued. If even two of those balls are fielded by (admittedly good) plays, then the inning is over.
