Evansville left fielder Josh Jyawook was running toward the left field fence, tracking a long ball from Indiana's Craig Dedelow. With the game tied at one in the bottom of the fifth in Bloomington, the Purple Aces needed an spectacular save to get out of the inning. The Tigers needed a similar play from Torii Hunter in the 2013 ALCS against the Red Sox.
Unlike Hunter, Jyawook made the catch, feet in the air and all. Watch here:
