A young fan thought he'd helped his New York Mets get a run on the board Saturday night when he leaned over the left-field railing and caught a deep Wilmer Flores fly ball before Colorado Rockies outfielder David Dahl could make the catch.
The kid then went a little nuts, shaking his glove and yelling toward Dahl, then going with a Dikembe Mutombo-style finger wag at him.

At the time, it was ruled a home run and cut the Rockies lead to 7-3 as the Mets tried to rally in the bottom of the ninth.
Dahl protested and the umpire crew began looking at the replay, along with MLB's central replay review, and eventually ruled it fan interference and called Flores out instead.
