“The Catch” – by Minnesota’s Jeff Matacynski

August 22, 2011 by fpw

Cap tip Al’s Fastball, YouTube edit by Blair Setford

At the 2011 ISC World Tournament, Jeff Mataczynski, left fielder for the Minnesota Angels made “The Catch”. In the bottom of the 8th inning in what was the best game of the tournament, Mataczynski went back to the fence and then over it to take away what would have been a game-winning home run from John Rozich of Pennsylvania Power Minnesota’s pitcher Juan Potolicchio would pitch a 10-inning no-hitter, striking out 20, while his counterpart for Pennsylvania Power, Sean Cleary, struck out 24 and gave up only one hit, a home run to Minnesota’s Nicholas Bittor.

Great camera work by centerfield camera man Gerry Betz, Kyle Smith with the call.
(Both brought their “A” game to Quad Cities)
