Uehara threw the final pitch at the bottom of the ninth and made Evan Longoria his third victim of the inning. Longoria checked his swing, but was called a strike to make three outs in game 4 of the series.
The catcher and fielders ran to the mound where Uehara had jumped in the air with his fist held high after the call was made.
The rest of the team in the dugout ran to rejoice with the others on the field like 1st graders running to the playground. The Sox hugged, and yelled in celebration as the fans roared with them.
While the sports analytics talked game, the camera followed the team to the locker room where they popped champagne bottles. Beards were soaked and chants were yelled in honor of the win.
Coming off of a poor season in 2012, the Sox had a long way to come and are that much closer to the World Series.
The Athletics and the Tigers will duke it out to see who will meet up with the Sox in the next series.
