In the bottom of the 6th inning, St. Louis Cardinals shortstop Jhonny Peralta sliced a ball into the right field stands but wasn’t out of reach for Cubs right fielder Mike Baxter.
Baxter, who hit the game-tying RBI in 4th inning, dove into the first row of the right field stands at Busch Stadium and made the catch.

The fans in the first row were terrified of Baxter diving towards them.
