The Cardinals and Pirates faced off in Game 5 of the NLDS on Wednesday. With no room for error in the elimination game, both teams showcased incredible defense.

First, in the bottom of the third, Pirates left fielder Starling Marte made a full-extension diving play on a line drive by Matt Carpenter.

Marte ran a long way to make the catch, and diving for it represented a huge risk: If the ball got by, it looked likely to be at least a triple.

In the next half inning, Neil Walker led off with a sinking liner up the middle. This time, Cardinals shortstop Pete Kozma was the hero.
