Dustin Pedroia clinched the Boston Red Sox’ three-game sweep of the Tampa Bay Rays with some fancy footwork on Sunday.

The second baseman scored the 10th-inning, game-winning run in bizarre fashion. He should have been easily thrown out at the plate, but the ball was jarred loose after an awkward two-step.

He officially scored on Tampa Bay Rays catcher Luke Maile’s fielding error.

If his scoring move was choreographed, it’d go something like, “Touch, left, right, over, aaaaaaand face straddle.”
