Every Out, an Original Sonnet

TEXT OF THE POEM: "The Phillies played the Mets that August day, and led by two runs in the final frame; then, by a stroke of luck, the greatest play to grace the infield dirt ended the game. Luis Castillo led off second base, and Daniel Murphy inched away from first; Brad Lidge came set, and turned, prepared to face Jeff Francoeur, who would see the lead reversed. The runners went so neither one would lag; the batter lined a shot toward centerfield; the second-baseman caught it, touched the bag, tagged Murphy, and the triple-play was sealed. Eric Bruntlett recorded every out, and the game was over without a doubt."
