TCU infielder Anthony Silva made a highlight play in the team’s opening game against Oral Roberts in the College World Series.

Silva slid to snag a ball that looked like it would be a hit up the middle and then popped up quickly throwing out the runner at first.

TCU and college baseball fans were in awe of Silva’s play on social media.
