Watch: Dansby Swanson swats game-winning homer

Braves top prospect Dansby Swanson's second home rune with the Mississippi Braves proved to be a game winner Monday in Pensacola, Fla.

Swanson scored three times Monday, including the go-ahead shot over the left field wall in the 10th that broke a tie between the Mississippi Braves and Pensacola Blue Wahoos.

In the 10th with the game tied 3-3, Swanson took a strike as he showed bunt on the first pitch from reliever Kyle McMyne. On the next pitch, he launched the ball over the fence that gave the Braves the lead, and ultimately the win.
