Tulane's reaction to Stephen Alemais' 'Best play of the year'

Tulane shortstop Stephen Alemais showed off why he was a preseason All-American on Tuesday night at Alex Box Stadium.

Alemais made a sliding back-handed stop up the middle before flipping the ball behind his back to second baseman Jake Willsey who flipped it to first base for the inning-ending double play.

The play even led off SportsCenter.
