With D.C. sports on the cusp of an 0-3 night, Matt Wieters saved the city with a walk-off single

Wednesday night was turning into a sad one within the D.C. sports scene. The Capitals lost to the Penguins, 2-0, in Game 7 of their Eastern Conference semifinals -- thus eliminating them from the playoffs. The Wizards, after beating the Celtics by a combined 46 points in Games 3 and 4 of the Eastern Conference semifinals, lost 123-101 in Game 5, giving Boston a 3-2 series lead.
And in the baseball world, the greatest of all sports worlds, the Nats were down 6-2 to the Orioles entering the eighth inning. Could it be another loss? Would the capital of America really have an 0-for-3 night? C'mon, what do you think?

Michael Taylor hit a two-run homer in the bottom of the inning to bring the Nats within two, and then in the ninth, after a Jayson Werth solo shot on the 11th pitch of an amazing at-bat, Bryce Harper and crew managed to load the bases with one out. Former Oriole Matt Wieters stepped up to the plate with the eager eyes of D.C. watching, and the catcher delivered a 7-6 walk-off victory:

YOU COME AT THE KING, YOU BEST NOT MISS!
