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.
