Calhoun belts walk-off homer for Dodgers

Willie Calhoun had a big celebration waiting for him at home plate Wednesday night -- a shower of Gatorade, another of water, a two-footed jump onto home plate and a squad of jubilant teammates.
The Dodgers' No. 4 prospect clubbed a walk-off solo homer in the ninth inning to extend his recent power surge as the Triple-A Oklahoma City Dodgers took down the Sacramento River Cats, 3-2.

Calhoun was the second man to the plate in the ninth against Sacramento reliever Matt Reynolds. After Trayce Thompson flew out to left field to open the frame, the 22-year-old second baseman worked the count to 3-1 before pummeling Reynolds' offering over the wall in right-center for his second long ball in two nights and third in four games.

The game-winner helped Calhoun make up for an out he made on the basepaths earlier in the game. Tied at 2-2 with two outs in the sixth, the 2015 fourth-round pick singled to right. Darnell Sweeney followed with a single to center, and Calhoun was thrown out attempting to go from first to third on the play.
