With their season on the line, Willson Contreras and the Chicago Cubs weren't ready to give up against the Los Angeles Dodgers just yet.
The Cubs catcher opened up the scoring in Game 4 of the National League Championship Series by hammering an Alex Wood offering off the scoreboard in left field.
Contreras' blast traveled a ridiculous 491 feet and was followed by another home run off the bat of Javier Baez two hitters later.
