WATCH: Chris Taylor WENT OFF in NLCS Game 5

| Posted on |

Virginia baseball legend Chris Taylor absolutely went off in Game 5 of the NLCS, ripping three home runs and an RBI single in his first four at-bats. In his fifth and final at-bat, he had the chance to become the first to hit four homers in one postseason game but ultimately fell short. After a long foul ball teased everyone, he went down on a swinging strike three. Nevertheless, he finished 4-for-5 with 3 HR and 6 RBIs and practically staved off elimination from Atlanta by himself. The Dodgers won 11-2 and now head into Game 6 down 3-2 to the Braves.

Watch all the fun below:

All three homers were off a different pitcher (Max Fried, Chris Martin, then Dylan Lee).

This memorable performance for Chris Taylor will be remembered by UVA and Dodgers fans for a long time, especially if they can come all the way back. It’s been his MO this postseason; don’t forget he etched himself into MLB highlight lore by walking off the NL Wild Card game against the Cardinals (VIDEO).

So far in the NLCS, CT3 is 9-for-15 (.600 BA) with 5 extra-base hits, 9 runs batted in, and 3 stolen bases. Overall, he’s 12-for-33 this postseason (.364 BA) with a 1.254 OPS.

Game 6 is set for Saturday, October 23 at 5:08 p.m. in Atlanta.
