When one team is far behind in a game and is about to give up for dead, it sometimes can "crawl back into the game" by scoring a run or two and reviving hope that it might eventually bring out a victory. "The Red Sox crawled back into the game in the fourth inning, with four singles by Kevin Youkilis, David Ortiz, J. D. Drew and Álex González cutting the Toronto lead to one run." This term is used in other sports as well.
