All hail the Rally Cat! Wednesday night the St. Louis Cardinals were in a tough spot. They trailed the Kansas City Royals 5-4 in the bottom of the sixth inning.

Yadier Molina stood in the box with the bases loaded and two outs in the bottom of the sixth, with Peter Moylan on the hill. As Molina dug in with the count 1-0, the following happened:

Goodbye baseball, grand slam for Yadi.
The Cardinals wound up winning the game 8-5 and now sit 1.5 games behind the Chicago Cubs for first place in the National League Central. All the credit goes to #RallyCat who was the star of the evening.
