With two outs and Prince Fielder on first the last thing anyone expected top happen next was for the 275 pound Fielder to make it home should Adrian Beltre get a hit--which he did (a double). As it turns out, Fielder is able to get his mass moving when he wants to. He managed to get from first base to home in under 12 seconds! According to Stat Cast he topped out at 18.2 MPH along the way.
So--yeah, if you are a catcher and you see him coming you might want to think twice before you stand in the base path (I'm just saying...).
Fielder's run tied the score at 5-5. Texas ended up wining 6-5 courtesy of a Mitch Moreland sacrifice fly that scored Drew Stubbs.
