PITTSBURGH — Pittsburgh River Rescue retrieved an Atlanta Braves grand slam from the Allegheny River on Tuesday.
On Aug. 24, Matt Olson hit a grand slam out of PNC Park, contributing to a 14-2 win for the Braves over the Pirates. It was Olson’s fifth career grand slam, a 420-foot blast that bounced into the river.
According to a post from Pittsburgh Public Safety, members of Pittsburgh River Rescue thought Olson might want to commemorate the moment.
On a day without any impending calls, River Rescue went to work and found the grand slam ball in the river.
Pittsburgh Public Safety said the Braves can reach out to them to claim the baseball.
