Angels CF Mickey Moniak Made the Most Comical Mistake on Play That Could Have Won the Game

The Los Angeles Angels were able to beat the Chicago White Sox, 7-6, in 10 innings on Tuesday night but the story of the evening had to do with how the game got pushed into extra innings. 

In case you missed it, Angels center fielder Mickey Moniak had the chance to win the game for his team with two outs in the bottom of the ninth but he was unable to catch a hard hit ball to deep center field, even though it seemed like he was going to be able to haul it in.

Moniak not only didn’t catch it, but could only watch as it bounced over the wall for the ground-rule double. Two runs scored to tie up the game and while the Angels did go on to win, this moment was too funny:

Whoops!

Moniak made up for that in the top of the 10th with a double the scored the winning run. You gotta love baseball.
