Baseball is 27 outs for the losing team. Not 26 and a should have been one. The misplayed ball didn't end the game; Ark could still have gotten the batter out another way. They could have not given up a 2 run homer. They could have scored 3 runs in the last at bat to win.
A lot of teams have won a lot of games on the last play/series/at bat or took advantage of another team's miss.
Abel's parents crying in the stands watching their son throw a complete game shutout in the biggest game of his life. That has to be an awesome feeling.
