Nine-year-old Shaun Kemble of Broomall was on second. His teammate Brennan Gallagher was on first. Jack Bramhall was on third. Aidan Matthews was up to bat, writes Brock Killer for abc7news.com.

It was a tie game and bases were loaded.

Shaun kept his eyes on the play. Because this game was important.

It was Marple Township Little League 9U Team’s opportunity to move on in the tournament. They just had to get past Brookline.

First, Aidan singled to center, driving in Jack for a run.

That’s when Shaun rounded the bases and made his way to home. But waiting for him was Brookline’s young catcher who was protecting home plate like an MLB professional.

“I knew I was going to be out if I slid…so I just decided to jump over him!” Shaun told his parents after the game.

He scored in what would end up being a victorious outing for Marple Township.

Plays like Shaun’s make people say: “That’s a SportsCenter Top 10 moment.”

Shaun’s jump reached No. 6 on the SC Top 10 for July 1.

The Marple Township Little League 9U Team went on to win the tournament in North Wales.
