Softball outfielder saves a home run, takes a shot from fence"},"content":{"rendered":"

Whoever said softball was a non-contact sport never had this happen to them.<\/p>\n

Watch Berwick (Pa.) center fielder Katie Starr hustle back and make an awesome play on the ball, robbing the batter of what would have been a home run by reaching over the fence for the catch.<\/p>\n

In the process, she takes a hit to the chest and gets the wind knocked out of her, but hangs on to the ball.<\/p>\n

The two baserunners managed to tag up and score on the play, taking advantage of what might be the catch of the year by Super Sophomore Katie Starr.<\/p>\n

(And in the world of fans being in the right spot at the right time, kudos to the camera work!)<\/p>\n
