It was the top of the 9th inning, with two outs, and the Seattle Mariners found themselves in a precarious position, trailing the Arizona Diamondbacks 4-2. Representing the tying run at the plate was none other than Dominic Canzone, a former Diamondbacks outfielder recently traded to Seattle. This moment came hours after his call-up from the minors, setting the stage for a compelling comeback narrative.

Notably, Canzone had just been recalled from Tacoma’s Triple-A earlier that morning. After entering as a pinch-hitter later that night, he made the most of this unexpected opportunity.
