Brewers outfield prospect makes amazing game-saving catch at AAA

•Yahoo Sports

Jordyn Adams saved the game for Brewers AAA affiliate Nashville on May 15 with a wild catch at the wall and throw for a double play.

This may have done Lorenzo Cain one better. Nashville Sounds (AAA) outfielder Jordyn Adams made a highlight-reel game-clinching catch Thursday, May 14, turning it into a wild double play to end the game and save a 6-5 victory against the Iowa Cubs in Tennessee. With runners at the corners and one out, Iowa's Justin Dean sent a ball into the right-field corner that might have cleared the fence had Adams not made a leaping save right in front of the 310-foot marker.

Adams knocked the ball high into the air and then corralled it for the catch. A replay in honor of Jordyn Adams making the #SCTop10 https://t. co/EiZ7nMiBFz pic.

It was an eye-popping extra note to a play that might remind Brewers fans of Cain's game-saving catch on Opening Day in 2019.

The play appeared on ESPN "SportsCenter's" top 10. It actually went down in the scorebook as a sacrifice fly, given that runner Jonathon Long tagged and scored before the double play was completed. Prospects Jett Williams and Cooper Pratt both had two hits for the Sounds, including a double and triple for Williams, and Jeferson Quero homered in the fifth inning for the Sounds.
