    Chris Herrmann sat on the bench watching his Minnesota Twins climb back into the game against the Chicago White Sox.

    The 25-year-old backup catcher was so caught up in the action that the possibility of pinch hitting in the ninth inning hadn't even occurred to him. When Twins manager Ron Gardenhire told him to get ready, Herrmann had to scramble a bit before delivering the highlight of his young career.

    Herrmann's pinch-hit single in the bottom of the ninth scored pinch-runner Doug Bernier and lifted the Twins to a 4-3 victory over the White Sox on Thursday night.
