An incredible catch in the world of college softball went viral all the way to SportsCenter.
NKU Softball was in the news after one of its star players made a ridiculous grab. Junior outfielder Megan Lenhart, on her8-18 Norse, got on her horse and went all out for an insane diving catch against the 27-3 Marshall Thundering Herd.
“Someone get @SportsCenter on the line!! Megan Lenhart (@Megan_L_Meg) with the FULL EXTENSION” the NKU softball team account tweeted.
The highlight-reel grab went viral as it was shared all over the Internet. As of now, the original video above has over 10,000 views.
The NCAA Softball account posted the video as well and it’s received over 50,000 views on that account.
Though, funnily enough, Marshall fans and players haven’t taken kindly to what they feel is a lack of respect. The now 28-3 Herd haven’t been mentioned by the account much, if at all. Marshall softball player Camryn Belle took a shot at the NCAA in a quote of the video. “Great catch! Thanks NCAA for finally recognizing us while winning 13-0 with a now 28-3 record!” Belle tweeted.

Anyways… Luckily for Lenhart, SportsCenter listened to NKU.
The ESPN staple featured her and her sick grab in the SportsCenter Top 10. The network ranked it as the eighth-best play of the day.
NKU is currently going through it on the college softball field but made it into the positive lights after Lenhart’s sensational grab.
