Relive Dansby Swanson’s walk-off hit against the Padres
Monday’s game against the San Diego Padres was tied 4-4 in the bottom of ninth inning.
Braves’ rookie Dansby Swanson walked up to the plate.
Bases were loaded.
Two outs.
A 1-2 count.
Then, Swanson did something he’s never done and something that’s never been done at SunTrust Park.
Bottom of the 9th, 2 outs, tie ballgame.

Swanson hit a walk-off single to win the game 5-4 and sweep the Padres.
Swanson gave credit for his walk-off single to Freddie Freeman, who told Swanson to switch up the type of sunflower seeds he was eating before he got an ice bath from his teammates.
