The Missouri baseball team didn’t have a good day against No. 20 Ole Miss on Saturday afternoon, losing 3-0 and being held to only two hits.
However, freshman OF Josh Holt turned in perhaps the highlight of the season for the Tigers in the top of the eighth inning.
As you can see in the video below, Holt leaps while running at full speed to make an incredible catch at the wall, robbing a home run:
"How did he do that? How in the world did he hold onto this baseball?!"

Holt was understandably excited after his inning-ending play, pumping his fist as he jogs off the field. The announcers couldn’t believe he held onto the ball, either.
The Tigers fell to 14-9 with the loss, but they may have found a gem of a left fielder in Holt.
