Kolten Wong’s walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth Sunday night gave the St. Louis Cardinals a riveting 5-4 win over the San Francisco Giants in Game 2 of the National League Championship Series.
The left-handed hitting Wong led off the ninth by lining a pitch from Sergio Romo over the right-field fence, igniting a wild celebration at Busch Stadium and sending the best-of-seven series back to San Francisco tied at 2 games apiece.
Here’s the video:
Wong proceeded to prance around the bases like he was Joe Carter, then nearly decapitate an unsuspecting umpire by tossing his helmet as he approached the plate.
