Pittsburgh Pirates first baseman Sean Rodriguez turned the National League Wild Card game into the Wild West -- landing more hits than his entire team in a bizarre dugout brawl with a Gatorade cooler.

The incident, captured on video, happened during the 7th inning of the game with the Cubs, when Chicago's pitcher was beaned at the plate. The Pirates were down 4-0 at that point.

Both benches cleared, but when the incensed Rodriguez returned to the dugout, he unleashed a grand slam on the cooler.

The cooler eventually fell down onto the ground.

In the wake of the incident, a "Pirates Water Cooler" parody Twitter account emerged.
