With the bases loaded and two outs, Benintendi extended fully and snagged an Alex Bregman line drive. The catch preserved Boston's 8-6 victory and pulled the Red Sox within one win of a World Series berth.
Castiglione brought Red Sox fans the dramatic call, despite his tumble.
"Did he make the catch? He did! He got it," Castiglione said before a thud can be heard. "And the Red Sox win as I just went head over heels in my chair. Oh wow. What a catch by Andrew Benintendi!"
