Hunter Pence Slams Into Fence For Leaping Catch

Hunter Pence made an incredible leaping grab at the wall to rob Jayson Werth of extra bases and kept the Nationals from putting the tying run in scoring position.

Damn, Hunter Pence, this was a hell of a catch. Jayson Werth tattooed Ryan Vogelsong's 0-2 fastball in the sixth inning and it sliced out to right field. Pence tracked it all the way to the right field wall and jumped into a weird corner where the fence meets some padding and slammed into it to make an incredible catch.

The Nationals are trying to stay alive in the series and trail the Giants 2-1 through six innings and Pence robbed them of a hit that would have put the tying run in scoring position with one out. Instead, Pence recorded the second out, Bochy replaced Vogelsong, and Javier Lopez got San Francisco out of the inning.
