Doggone it! Braves' Duvall drills cardboard pooch with HR

NEW YORK (AP) — A cardboard cutout of a dog at Citi Field got her paws on a home run ball Saturday.

Easiest game of fetch Willow McNeil will ever play.

Atlanta's Adam Duvall drilled a solo shot to right field that hit a cardboard likeness of the 1-year-old pup belonging to Mets All-Star Jeff McNeil.

“Right off the pooch!" exclaimed New York broadcaster Gary Cohen.

Willow was one of three pretend dogs propped up in the first row behind the right field wall for New York's second game of this 60-game season shortened by the coronavirus pandemic.
