Todd Frazier gets ball stuck in fence on bizarre ground-rule double (Video)
The New York Yankees tied Game 2 of the ALCS in rather strange fashion on Saturday.
With a runner at second and two out, Yankee third baseman Todd Frazier hit a fly ball to deep left center field. Somehow, the ball managed to wedge itself between the fencing and one of the padded barriers on the left field wall at Minute Maid Park — sparking some confusion, and a befuddled George Springer unsuccessfully attempting to dislodge it.

Though Frazier lobbied, the play was ruled a ground-rule double, which was still enough to tie the game.
Rather remarkably, this was not the first bizarre scoring play in Game 2.
