Watch a Minor Leaguer's slip and fall turn a ground ball into an inside-the-park homer

When you think of an inside-the-park homer, what sort of play comes to mind? A ball taking a weird carom off the wall, maybe, or a diving attempt that comes up empty.
Chances are what did not come to mind was a chopper down the right-field line.

Don't feel too bad for Pieters: The Cubs would rally for a 7-4 win. And besides, it even happens to the big leaguers every now and then.
