Braves prospect Braxton Davidson went from celebration to confusion and pain in a matter of seconds Saturday.
Davidson hit a 10th-inning, walk-off home run to give the Peoria Javelinas a 3-2 win over Salt River in the Arizona Fall League championship game.
But something strange happened as Davidson trotted around the bases. Rounding third, he jumped in the air a few times, then came up lame and hopped across home plate on one foot.
