LOS ANGELES — As Mookie Betts stepped up in the⁢ bottom of the first inning during Sunday’s Game‌ 2 of the Dodgers’ National‌ League⁢ Division Series against the Padres, it seemed everyone at Dodger‌ Stadium ⁤believed he had just connected ⁤for a game-tying solo home⁣ run.

However, the only ‌exception was ‌Padres left fielder Jurickson⁢ Profar, who was well aware of the truth.

San Diego had taken a​ 1-0 lead thanks to Fernando Tatis Jr.’s‌ homer earlier in the first inning, but Betts looked ⁣poised‍ to ⁤respond immediately.

Betts swung at⁣ the first pitch from Yu Darvish, sending the ball soaring deep into left field.‍ Profar dashed ⁤after it, leaping over the low fence and reaching his left arm into the second row of seats. ​Remarkably, he ‌managed to snag the ball amid the waving arms and hands of enthusiastic Dodgers fans.

At first, it was unclear whether a​ catch had actually been made. To the⁤ naked eye, it seemed as though Betts had hit a legitimate home run, with⁢ the‍ FS1 broadcast even showcasing a celebratory graphic.⁤ Yet, Profar‍ faced the ⁢crowd, ​dancing on the warning track and playfully taunting fans, all while the ball remained safely ​tucked in his glove.

“That was one‍ of my dreams: to‍ rob a

Sitting in the ​front ‍row of left field with his girlfriend​ and⁢ two children, Dodgers supporter Mario Zazueta believed he had at least a memorable‍ keepsake and a ⁣tale to recount.‍ He thought he could celebrate⁢ a playoff home run by the‌ Dodgers.

“I ⁣looked and thought he missed ​the ball,” Zazueta explained, a⁤ resident‌ of La Puente, California. “I assumed it was a home run. When I⁤ glanced over at‌ him,⁤ he was looking right at me. ⁣I pointed​ at him, acknowledging, ‘You ‌got me.’ But ⁢he didn’t respond.”

“No, I ‍didn’t say anything; I was just trying to battle them⁤ to catch ​the⁢ ball,” Profar⁢ commented. “They were hitting my ⁣glove.”

As Betts rounded second base with his right arm raised, it soon became apparent he was out. He jogged back‍ towards the home dugout. In​ the meantime, Zazueta was eager to avoid the notoriety⁣ of⁤ missing out on‍ the ball.

“It’s⁣ absolutely disheartening,” he shared. “I​ don’t want to ⁢be labeled the next Steve Bartman.”
