Fan Loses Wi-Fi, United Tweets Box Scores

Baseball fans know that Friday's American League Division playoff game between the Cleveland Indians and the New York Yankees was a come-from-behind nail-biter. After digging themselves into an 8-3 deficit, Cleveland rallied to win the game 9-8 in the 13^th inning.

Exciting stuff.

Except for one Indians fan who was stuck on a United flight.

Not only was he flying, he couldn't get his Wi-Fi to work, so there was no way to keep up with the game. Fortunately, however, according to the Let's Go Tribe fan page, his Twitter feed continued to work so he sent a tweet to United asking for an update.

A United social media rep, identified as ^AD, was more than willing to help and provided him with the box score.

We're sorry for the poor internet today, Blake. The score is 2-3, with the Indians in the lead. Top of the 3rd right now. ^AD

Throughout the flight, the conversation continued.

What about now

We have your back. Now it's 6-3, Yankees. Bottom of the 4th. ^AD

Hmm thanks
Think we can rally?

Grand slam by Lindor. The score is now 8 to 7, Yankees in the bottom of the 6th. ^AD

The Twitter volley appears to end after the sixth inning, so hopefully, the game's slide into extra innings bought the fan enough time to de-plane and actually get to watch the Indian's exciting come-from-behind win.
