VIDEO: Joc Pederson Hits Absolute No-Doubter to Lead Dodgers to Extra Innings Win Over Diamondbacks
By Jerry Trotta
The Arizona Diamondbacks were looking to pull of a four-game sweep of the Los Angeles Dodgers at Chase Field on Sunday as they continue their surge in the tightly-packed NL Wild Card race. Well, the intriguing NL West showdown went into extras with both clubs deadlocked at 3-3. In the top half of the 11th inning, Joc Pederson stepped into the dish and ultimately called game by clubbing a MAMMOTH of a solo home run DEEP into the right field bleachers.

Peep Pederson glancing over to the Dodgers dugout almost immediately after he made contact with the pitch. The big bopper knew he got ALL of that one.
For those wondering (hopefully everybody) that ball traveled a shade under 454 feet and the dinger ended up being the game-winner as Los Angeles won 4-3.
