Relive Austin Riley's home run and the game-ending double play from every possible angle

We've gathered all the best shots and videos of the late-inning heroics for you

Atlanta Braves third baseman Austin Riley's 8th-inning home run may end up being the most significant postseason home run of his career.

But you wouldn't know it from the way he talked about it after the game. 

“Just trying to put up a competitive at-bat,” Riley said. “At the end of the day, you’re not trying to do too much, and just try to be in the moment. I actually stepped out and looked over (to Kevin Seitzer, Braves hitting coach), and I sometimes overstride in big moments and get too amped up, and he just kind of was telling me to calm down. I was just trying to put a barrel on the ball. That’s all it was."

But it was a big play - one of the biggest postseason plays in the third baseman's history, right there with the walkoff against the Dodgers in the 2021 NLCS, a fact he finally admitted to.

"It’s definitely up there with my top ones, yeah."

We've gathered as many angles of the homer as possible, because honestly: It's just fun to watch. 

Here's the TBS broadcast:

And the homer as called by the Atlanta Braves Radio Network (and friend of the program Ben Ingram): 

But there's also some different angles for the video. Here's one from field level: 

And this one's an even better angle, because you can see the dugout (and in particular, Marcell Ozuna) realize it's gone and begin celebrating: 

In the dugout, Michael Harris II and Orlando Arcia were FIRED UP.

The walkoff double play

But the game wasn't over after that - Atlanta had to get through the 9th. And it looked iffy for a minute there, with Bryce Harper drawing a walk off of AJ Minter before Raisel Iglesias came into the game. 

Enter Michael Harris II and Austin Riley. 

The duo's 8-5-3 double play (the FIRST 8-5-3 double play in postseason history) sealed the historic comeback. 

Riley credited his positioning to his attempt to make sure the middle infield knew to go to 1st with the throw. "The only reason I was in the position that I was, was because I was screaming 'One!' and momentum just kept pulling me that way. And then it ended up just being right spot, right time."  

Here's the TBS broadcast (and I've gotta admit, this is a GREAT call): 

And here's the Braves radio broadcast (go to 1:20, or open the second tweet in a new window):

Here the MLB Statcast look, in 3D:

And when you isolate it down to just Harper, you can see a crucial bit of luck for Atlanta - when he stops to go back to first, he stumbles ever so slightly. 

This great angle starts on Castellanos and then shifts to Harper right as the catch is being made, so you can see him stumbling: 

Here's an iso shot on Castellanos and then 1st base, with just crowd noise instead of commentary: 

What a comeback. What a win.

We've got a series, folks.
