Padres' Derek Norris Hits Walk-off Grand Slam After Striking out 4 Times in Game


Derek Norris probably had his head down for most of the game against the Pittsburgh Pirates on Friday night. The San Diego Padres catcher struck out four times leading up to the bottom of the ninth inning. 

Norris stepped up to the plate with the score tied 2-2, bases loaded and two outs. What happened next was truly unexpected.

Norris smashed a home run, giving his team a 6-2 victory. 

So just to look back: Norris struck out four times during the game, came up to bat with two outs and the score knotted at two apiece and then smacked a walk-off grand slam to win the game. He also made history. 


Oh yeah, and of course he got the victory shower.
