A double inside the line and a fan going over the line were very helpful for the Seattle Mariners on Friday night.

Rob Johnson doubled down the right-field line, scoring two runs in the 11th inning and the Mariners beat the Boston Red Sox 7-6.

Earlier in the game, a male fan along the third-base line reached for Ryan Langerhans' foul pop that Red Sox third baseman Kevin Youkilis was attempting to make a play on. Seattle went on to score three runs after that play in the fourth inning and hung on after Boston rallied with two runs in the eighth.
