A failed catch in a Friday night Pac-12 baseball game turned into a pretty impressive highlight for the Arizona Wildcats. Arizona shortstop Kevin Newman failed to make a play on a fly ball to left field, misjudging the ball which hit him in the head. Luckily for him, his teammate Jared Oliva turned a pretty hilarious gaffe into a highlight, coming up with a diving catch.

Deadspin’s Tim Burke grabbed a GIF of the play:


nfortunately for the Wildcats, this fantastic play came in a losing effort.
