The Houston Astros took an early lead over the New York Yankees in the fourth inning of Game 2 of the American League Championship Series on Saturday thanks to a solo home run off the bat of Carlos Correa, but the run almost didn't count.
Correa's drive towards the right-field stands, which was just barely out of the reach of sky-scraping outfielder Aaron Judge, appeared to be interfered with by a young fan named Carson who attempted to catch himself a souvenir.

After replay review, the young fan and a roaring stadium of Astros faithful breathed a sigh of relief when the home run counted, giving the Astros a 1-0 lead.
Just spoke with Carson and his family. He caught the infamous Carlos Correa homer. #astros #abc13 #alcs pic.twitter.com/SU4wgXegsB
