The Los Angeles Dodgers looked as if they were going to go down 3-0 in Game 5 of the National League Championship Series against the Atlanta Braves.

It initially wasn’t ruled a catch and Marcell Ozuna ran from second base to home. But a review revealed that it indeed was a catch. And because Ozuna left the bag before the catch was made, it turned into a double play.

Los Angeles has to win Friday night if it wants to keep its postseason hopes alive.
