Raul Mondesi Jr. of the Brewers minor league system stepped with up to the plate with two outs in the 10th inning and his team trailing 2-0. Mondesi proceeded to smack a two-run home run, seemingly tying the game at 2.

Unfortunately for his rookie league ball club, Mondesi forgot to touch home plate after rounding the bases. After a few moments of confusion, the opposing team's pitcher tossed a new ball to the catcher, who stepped on home plate, recording the final out.
