Watch: Red Sox give up Little League ‘home run’ against Rays

It’s not every day that you see a hitter round the bases without hitting the ball out of the ballpark on a play that wasn’t an inside-the-park home run.

The Red Sox were on the wrong end of such a play Sunday against the Rays. Trailing 4-2 at the top of the sixth inning, the Red Sox were a strike away from getting out of the inning before the disastrous play occurred.

Little League Home Run, def: a play during which a batter scores a run during their plate appearance with the aid of one or more errors committed by the fielding team.
