One more chance

The 1992 World Series, Game 6 (Toronto 3, Atlanta 2): 
With two outs in the bottom of the 9th inning (trailing 2-1; runners on first and second), Otis Nixon’s base hit gives the Atlanta Braves one more chance.




(The Toronto Blue Jays won the game, and the series, in the 11th inning, 4-3.)

Runners on second base usually scores on a single that is hit to the outfield. Therefore, runners on second and third is said to be in scoring position.
