Giants' Heliot Ramos hit the ball twice on one RBI swing
Heliot Ramos pulled off a feat rarely seen on a baseball field. In the first inning Sunday in Toronto, the San Francisco Giants' star outfielder hit the ball twice on one swing. Seriously. The ball first made contact a bit up the handle, deflected slightly toward the barrel, then lined out toward the middle of the field. With a runner on second, the liner was placed just well enough to float through the infield and roll into center for an RBI single.
