A Phillies jumped down onto the field during Game 5 of the World Series, but his escape plan left much to be desired as he fell easily into the hands of security.
The fan wearing a Chase Utley jersey pranced around in the outfield for a few seconds at Philadelphia’s Citizens Bank Park before security began approaching from multiple vectors.
The sixth-inning interruption, though, didn’t last long. As security closed in, the fan tried a desperate lunge to the backfield wall, apparently in hopes of scaling the fence back into the stands.
But it was a forlorn hope as he fell right back down onto the field and into the waiting hands of security.
According to reports, fans began chanting that the runner was an “A** hole” for interrupting the Phillies roll. The home team lost by a run, 3-2, for Game 5, giving the Houston Astros a 3 to 2 advantage going into Game 6.
Game 6 of the 2022 World Series will be played in Houston on Saturday, where the Astros could win it all. If not, it will be on to Game 7.
