Jack Regenye caught controversy along with the most impressive Junior League World Series catch in history.

The Kennett Square, Penn., center fielder, during a championship game against Chinese Taipei in Taylor, Mich., on Saturday afternoon, ranged back for a ball that appeared destined to clear the wall.

The ball did. And so did Regenye.

In a play that echoed Jackie Bradley Jr.’s, the Boston outfielder who last month robbed Aaron Judge by winding up on the other side of the fence, Regenye never stopped running, leapt, threw his gloved hand in the air and tumbled over the wall. When he rose from the other side, he coolly showed the ball in his mitt.

Let’s watch it again:

The original call was an out, until the Chinese Taipei manage argued the call, and the umpires conferenced. They overturned the ruling and let the batter round the bases — before overturning their own overturn, again ruling it an out.

Chinese Taipei, though, won 12-1 in five innings for its fifth straight title, according to the Detroit Free Press., in the international tournament for children ages 12-15.
