NEW YORK (AP) — Ryan McMahon looked up and saw Jarren Duran's foul popup veering toward the Boston bench.
Without hesitation, the New York Yankees third baseman raced over. As he made a running catch, McMahon hit the padded railing and flipped head over heels into the Red Sox dugout, crashing to the ground while hanging onto the ball.
Fortunate he didn't get hurt, McMahon jumped right to his feet and quickly bolted out of enemy territory. He joined his happy teammates on the field as the crowd at Yankee Stadium roared.
“I didn’t feel anything,” McMahon said. "Just kept rolling with the adrenaline, popped back up and I was just excited to make the play.”
McMahon's courageous catch in the eighth inning Thursday night helped New York close out a 4-0 win over Boston in the deciding Game 3
