"I was shocked that it was still in my glove after that. I didn't think I had it. I looked down and it was there,"
Starr told WNEP 16 of Scranton. "It hurt, but I knew it had to make that play."
Starr's effort was featured in ESPN's SportsCenter Top 10 segment that evening.
Thanks in part to a home run later in the contest by Starr, Berwick went on to win 5-3.
