Catch of the Year?
– May 11, 2011Posted in: Big 12, Mountain West
Baylor sophomore CF Logan Vick robbed TCU LF Jason Coats of his 8th home run on the year tonight with a great over-the-fence grab in center field. With two outs in the 4th, Coats drove a Trent Blanks pitch to deep center for what looked like a three-run homer, but Vick followed it well, jumped at the wall, and snagged the would-be hit for the final out of the inning.The Horned Frogs led 5-2 at that point, and would have blown it open if it weren’t for Vick’s grab. Baylor ended up tying up the game at 6 before falling to the Horned Frogs 7-6. You can check out the catch below. Read the rest of this entry »
