Texas outfielder Corey Kahn left his mark at the Little League World Series, and he might have literally left one on the left-field wall.
In the third inning of a one-run game between Texas and Pennsylvania on Wednesday, Pennsylvania's Braden Hatch drove a ball to deep left field. Kahn backpedaled to the wall and must have missed the warning track, or at least he didn't heed the warning. He caught the ball over the wall, losing his hat in the process as he folded backward.

It may not have been graceful, but it certainly got the job done. Honestly, if this isn't just a picture of function.

Kahn has also pitched in the Little League World Series, so he's a jack of all trades. In eight innings, he has 12 strikeouts and two walks with an ERA of 2.25. He also has a save in one opportunity.
Texas, representing the Southwest region, would go on to beat Pennsylvania, representing the Mid-Atlantic region, 8-4 to advance to a game against the Southeast region on Thursday at 7 p.m. in Williamsport, Pa. The winner will advance to Saturday's U.S. final vs. Hawaii, representing the West region.
