Once a catcher, always a catcher.
Geoff Haxton is a former backstop, so it makes sense to see him make an absolutely ridiculous snag on a dishonest ball last night, also completely implicate the ball and not transfer a muscle to the theoretical umpire.
The ball, which came off the bat of Texas Tech batsman Jus Jung, made a basement for the broadcast booth, where it killed the Texas Tech radio announcer’s bare arm.

Hexton made a fumble and also stuck the ball so that an imaginary umpire behind him could make a really good catch on the ball.
“Hexton joked after the grab,” my hand is very bad right now. (Otherwise no one would know.)
Haxton, a former college catcher, has not played the ball since 1996. He is still found.
Texas Tech would win the game 7–2. Someone saved Haxton’s place in the ice tub.
