Summary
Shohei Ohtani hit an unusual ground-rule double during a Dodgers vs. Angels game when his looping hit bounced off the new netting atop the outfield wall and back onto the field, rather than going into the stands. The play, described as a "Little League home run," occurred in the top of the eighth inning with the Dodgers leading by four. The netting is newly installed, as reported by the Associated Press.
