Alabama baseball is 8-1 after defeating Toy at home in a one-game series with a final score of 9-1. However, what fans are talking about is an unbelieveable play made by redshirt-freshman outfielder Andrew Pinckney.
With the Crimson Tide up by eight in the top of the ninth inning, a ball is hit high and deep to right field for what looks like a Troy home run.
Pinckney had other plans for the ball.
He locates the ball and follows it to the warning track, where he then jumps up and reaches his glove over the fence.
The ball appears to hit his glove, out of play, then bounce back up into the field of play. Pinckney relocates the ball and catches it.
Troy thinks it is a home run and Pinckney is unsure whether to just toss the ball back or try and get the runner, who is still rounding the bases.
It’s called an out and the play will likely be a web gem.
