Braves' Peterson crashes into wall after tough grab
Atlanta Braves / Twitter
Jace Peterson never took his eye off the ball, and it hurt him.
The Atlanta Braves center fielder chased a long fly ball off the bat of Washington Nationals outfielder Chris Heisey to the warning track Saturday, backpedaling hard to make a superb catch in the third inning. Unfortunately for Peterson, however, the real estate at Turner Field ended quicker than he anticipated, as he collided heavily with the center field wall after securing the ball.
Though he was shaken up on the play, Peterson stayed in the game.
