In the midst of the baseball playoffs, Malik Turner did his best Willie Mays impression Saturday on the road against Iowa.

Facing third-and-8 in the first quarter, quarterback Wes Lunt dropped back and launched one downfield. Initially, it looked like he'd overthrown his intended receiver, but Turner showed a sudden burst of speed before snagging the ball over his head with one hand.
