his next star. gomez in to close. oh, no. two on and ryan zimmerman has opposite field power and spanks one up and out. that ties the game in the ninth. first blown save of the year. look at international law pumped up. bottom of the frame, two up and two up. comes up money when it matters the most, a base knock to left and daniel nava comes in. that's a walkoff victory for the fils who take their first home series over the nats since april 2014, a 4-3 win. flyers with the season finale against the hurricanes and none more poignant than bryan bickell who will be playing in his final game. he was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis back in november and rejoined the team for the final actual games of the year. the first of the two games was last night where he received a standing ovation from the crowd and an emotional moment to be sure. also a surprise from his teammates who popped up on him by showing up to the ms walk, a
