Tupelo (Miss.) player jumps to avoid tag at home plate and leads his team to victory.
Throwing, hitting, running, pitching and catching are the major actions in the game of baseball.
Caleb Walker added jumping to the mix, and in the process made himself a highlight-reel sensation across the nation.
The
Tupelo (Miss.) player rounded third base on a hit by
J.D. Roberts and went into a slide at home plate as the catcher caught the ball and turned to make a tag. He planted his front foot to stop, jumped over the outstretched catcher and landed his foot on home plate to score.
ABC's America This Morning aired the highlight.
Tupelo was down a run before Walker's sizzling sixth-inning play, and used the momentum to earn a 7-2 victory, according to WTVA.
