Pitcher hits pinch hit HR to win game

[boyer14]

With 2 position players injured and the others already used for defense, pinch hitting and injuries HAL calls on Matt Latos to pinch hit to lead off the bottom of the 10th and he homers off of Billy Wagner to win the game. I've never seen that one before!

By the way, when I pulled up the statistics to check the pitchers' hitting stats for this non-DH league the HR for Latos does not show on his line. It lists him as 8-53, no HR and 4 RBI's. I guess PH appearances for pitchers are not recognized on the stats?

Nice. Tie it in the bottom of the 9th with a homer, then win in the bottom of the 10th off a pinch hit homer by a pitcher off his own card!

I've had pitchers get pinch hits before, but this is a first. Maybe an "edge case" bug in the statistics that it doesn't show up? Would have been awesome to watch the replay on that one not knowing the outcome.
