College softball fans marveled over an absolutely insane diving catch that would surely be considered a Web Gem.
Duke Blue Devils centerfielder D’Auna Jennings has developed a penchant for big plays. Jennings already came away with one sensational grab earlier this season. Nothing might top this one and that may go across the spectrum.
ECU Pirates infielder Malea Rolle stepped to the plate with her team in front 2-1. With two outs and a runner on, they seemed poised to strike again. Rolle blasted the pitch out to centerfield and it carried out far.
That’s when Jennings went all out for it! She dove and went full extension to make the catch in incredible fashion!
FULL EXTENSION LIKE WHAAAAAT 👀👀👀
