Young Pirates Fan Shows Range Of Emotions During Team's 18 Inning Win

By Ryan Mayer

The Pittsburgh Pirates and Washington Nationals played an 18-inning game on Sunday afternoon that ended in a 2-1 win for the Bucs on Starling Marte's solo blast off of the Nationals' Oliver Perez.

It was a back-and-forth affair featuring a game-tying homer in the bottom of the ninth inning from Daniel Murphy and both teams having good chances to take the lead in the extra frames. During the broadcast, cameras kept coming back to one young Pirates fan who perfectly encapsulated what every fan must have been feeling in watching the extra-inning affair.

That pretty much covers it. The anger after Murphy's home run. The hopefulness during a chance for the team in extras. The frustration and sleepiness of a game that will seemingly never end. Finally, the hunger that creeps in as the game has extended to the point where you've missed multiple meals. Fantastic. Happy Monday Pirates fans.
