02br 02br 00There are three outs in an inning. If there are already two outs, then there is only one more chance to score the run -- or more accurately, if one more mistake is made, there will be no more chances. 02br 02br 00So Michael is saying that this is their last chance - they have one more "at bat" (chance to score) to win the game.
