Cam Cannarella saved Clemson with a defensive play so impressive that baseball fans compared it to 'The Catch' from Willie Mays.
and Florida in college baseball's Clemson Super Regional round of the NCAA tournament went to extra innings after Tigers outfielder Cam Cannarella put the team on his back late into the game.
Trailing 9–6 in the top of the ninth inning, Cannarella unleashed a game-tying three-run home run to knot things up and force extra innings. He once again came to his team's rescue during the bottom of the 10th inning, this time with his glove. After the Gators launched a line drive to deep center field–one which would've won the game if it landed–Cannarella raced back and made a sensational catch, hauling in the ball while leaping in the air with his body facing the wall.
This is the best catch I’ve ever seen, not exaggerating at all. He’s playing shallow and this ball is touched by Ashton Wilson, but he tracks it all the way and makes a leaping Willie Mays catch to save Clemson’s season. DOG!!!June 9, 2024Ashton Wilson just crushed that ball and somehow, Cam Cannerella Willie Mays’d it to keep the Gators from going to Omaha.
