Toronto Blue Jays infielder Addison Barger acknowledged making a critical baserunning mistake that ended Game 6 of the World Series on Friday night. Barger was doubled off second base on a line drive catch by left fielder Enrique Hernandez, ending the Los Angeles Dodgers' 3-1 victory.

Barger said he misjudged the trajectory of Andres Gimenez's line drive in the ninth inning. He thought the ball would fall for a hit over the infield.

"I was pretty surprised he got to it," Barger said. "Off the bat, I thought it was going to go over the shortstop's head. I didn't think it was going to travel that far. It was kind of a bad read."

Isiah Kiner-Falefa agreed the play appeared destined to drop for a hit.

"I thought it was getting down 1,000 percent," Kiner-Falefa said.

Barger had reached second base moments earlier on a ground-rule double after his drive became lodged beneath the outfield wall padding. The ruling sent him back to second after he had crossed home plate.

Manager John Schneider defended Barger's aggressive baserunning approach.

"[Hernandez] playing shallow and one out, you're thinking score," Schneider said. "He made a really good play. It's such a tweener."

The Blue Jays will play their second Game 7 in 10 days after defeating Seattle in the ALCS. Max Scherzer will start for Toronto on Saturday.

"If you told us in spring training we were going to have a Game 7, everyone here would have signed up for it," Kiner-Falefa said. "From last place last year to Game 7 of the World Series."

Infielder Davis Schneider said he has dreamed of being a Game 7 hero since childhood.

"I still do it to this day," Schneider said with a smile. "In the cage. Game 7, game on the line."
