Tim Elko celebrated with teammates after hitting a walk-off single in the tenth inning, leading the Chicago White Sox to a victory against the Detroit Tigers. Despite striking out three times earlier in the game, Elko focused on his final at-bat and capitalized on an opportunity created by teammate Austin Slater. This clutch hit marked a significant moment for Elko, who had just been recalled from Triple-A, illustrating the importance of maintaining a positive mindset in baseball.
Tim Elko acknowledged some of his at-bats on Thursday against the Tigers weren't his best. He struck out three times in his first four, chasing breaking balls out of the zone and watching a fastball land for strike three.
Elko drove it up the middle for a walk-off single and was mobbed by his teammates in celebration. 'In baseball you've got to have a quick memory and learn from your mistakes, then move on to the next one,' Elko said postgame.
'It means the world,' Elko said. 'Every time we step on that field, we're trying to win the game. So anytime you can contribute to that, that feels great.'
