Watch: Billy Hamilton robs home run with awesome catch
Billy Hamilton made yet another gem in the field, and he saved a run in the process.
Hamilton robbed Matt Carpenter of a home run for the last out in the bottom of the seventh inning of Friday’s game between the Cincinnati Reds and St. Louis Cardinals. He went back to the track for a fly ball and perfectly timed his jump as he climbed and maneuvered his way up the wall for the grab.
