ANTHONY RIZZO v TY BLACH (WIN P) GAME-USED 2016 NLDS GM3 CUBS v GIANTS BASEBALL

Description

For sale is a truly unique collectable from the 2016 NLDS- Game 3 - between the Chicago Cubs and the San Francisco Giants.
The Giants would take this game, 6-5, in a wild & dramatic 13-inning affair.  Madison Bumgarner started what will likely be his final post-season start as a Giant, and pitched 5 innings, allowing 3 runs on one-swing of that bat to opposing starter Jake Arrieta.  The Giants would take the lead but Sergio Romo would surrender a dramatic game-tying home-run to Kris Bryant in the top of the ninth inning.  The Giants wold eventually win this game on back-to-back doubles by Crawford and Panik in the bottom of the 13th.
This specific ball was pitched in the top of inning 12 by Giant's rookie lefty Ty Blach.  Blach would use this precise ball to strike out Cubs superstar 1B Anthony Rizzo, and then the ball would be re-used and pitched in the dirt vs Albert Almora.  Blach would close his own win, with 2 shutout innings, and for now Ty Blach is the answer to the trivia question of "last Giants pitcher to win a post-season game"
