The Los Angeles Dodgers played the Kansas City Royals in an exhilarating game on Saturday, which became even more thrilling when Dodgers prospect Michael Busch stepped up to bat in the top of the seventh inning. Busch sent the ball soaring out of the park, earning the game’s first home run and sending fans into a frenzy.

As the ball flew towards the left side of the field, fans jumped up in an attempt to catch it. Despite their efforts, the ball fell to the ground and bounced deeper into the crowd. Several fans tried to stop its path, but it continued rolling towards a four-legged spectator, who initially had no clue what was happening around him.

The dog perked up at the sound of commotion and noticed the ball rolling towards him. Excited by the round object, the pup eagerly opened his mouth and caught the ball. He was already thrilled with his catch, but his excitement escalated as the surrounding crowd cheered him on. His tail wagging, the dog basked in the glory of his impressive catch.

“Did the dog catch that?” one of the commentators said. “Well, how ’bout that!”
