Cubs catcher Willson Contreras has struggled at the plate during the postseason so far, but he did manage to hit a moon shot in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series on Thursday night.
Contreras saw a fastball from Alex Wood that got too much of the plate, and he did not miss it.
The ball traveled 491 feet and caromed off the video board, and Contreras knew it was gone as soon as he hit it.

That home run shows how much the Cubs don’t want to be swept in the series.
