Feral kitten dashes onto field and inspires game winning grand slam!
The kitten has been dubbed #RallyCat and the St. Louis Cardinals owe their win to this little furry streaker.
On Wednesday, the team was in the midst of a heated game against cross-state rivals the Kansas City Royals — trailing on their home turf 5-4 in the sixth inning.
Bases loaded and two outs on the board, catcher Yadier Molina was up at bat — stepping up to the plate against Royals reliever Peter Moylan.
The first pitch… a ball. The second pitch… a cat???

Seconds before Moylan had a chance to throw his second pitch, a stray cat burst into Busch Stadium, sprinting across the outfield.
Stopping to saying hello to center fielder Lorenzo Cain, the kitten was finally rescued by a member of the grounds crew.

Here's our little hero, the Rally Cat (although the grounds crew guy might say differently). #STLCards pic.twitter.com/OrR2IFAv8d

The feral kitten, obviously scared, put up quite a fight but the grounds crew member held strong and safely escorted the kitten out of play.
After Rally Cat’s appearance, Molina went on to hit a go-ahead grand slam that gave St. Louis an 8-5 win — their fifth straight victory.
Later in the game, #RallyCat was spotted by a fan being taken away from the ballpark in a crate.

Apparently he’s on his way to his furever home.
