Tebow's week included struggles at plate, big catch

COLUMBIA, S.C. — Tim Tebow struggled to find his stroke, but made a game-saving catch for the Columbia Fireflies this week.

The former Heisman Trophy winner and NFL quarterback played in five of six games this week for the New York Mets' Class A South Atlantic League franchise. His best game came Wednesday as he went 2 for 2 in a 10-5 loss to the Charleston (S.C.) RiverDogs.

The next day, Tebow's tumbling catch in the ninth inning preserved a 3-2 victory over the Lexington (Kentucky) Legends.

A look how Tebow has fared this week and this season:
