VIDEO: Virginia's Kenny Towns saves run with incredible acrobatic play

Bruce Thorson / USA TODAY Sports

Kenny Towns made a game-saving play that he'll remember for the rest of his life.

With the score tied 2-2 in Game 3 of the College World Series Finals against Vanderbilt, the Virginia third baseman came up clutch. With a runner on third, the senior fully extended to his right, robbing Vanderbilt's Tyler Campbell of extra bases and an RBI.

Not only that, but he had the wherewithal to pop up and fire a bullet across the infield for the third out of the inning, preserving the tie. His team would go on to add two runs en route to the program's first ever national title.
