One, twice, third time’s the charm in this awesome catch

Baseball is all about hand-eye coordination, right? How about hand-back-teammate’s-hand coordination? That’s what it took for an Illinois high school center and right fielder to combine on a catch earlier this week.

Kyle Comincioli of Pontiac Township (Ill.) High School hit a deep shot to right-center, where Dunlap (Ill.) High’s David Zoz tracked and dove for the ball. The ball hit the edge of his glove and sort of hung in the air as Zoz continued falling, long enough for him to end up underneath it. It then bounced off his back, bouncing high enough that right fielder Jay Tilly to swoop in and make the catch. 

Comincioli was robbed on that one, but it’s hard to imagine he went home disappointed: he had six hits in that day’s doubleheader as Pontiac swept Dunlap.
