12-year-old Mason Cherry pulled off an insane jump move over a catcher to score a run

Mason Cherry and his friends were enjoying an afternoon of baseball on Thursday when his run toward home plate made an impression on just about everyone. 
The 12-year-old center fielder from Wichita, Kan., was on base when his teammate hit a single. As Cherry approached home, the opposing team threw home to the catcher -- but Cherry pulled off an epic move to make sure he wouldn't get out:

Yep -- that just happened. Cherry jumped over the catcher to score the run. Everyone at Westurban Park appeared to be in shock over the move -- including the umpire. The crowd obviously loved it, and how could you not?
This was so good. So good in fact, it drew Andrew McCutchen's attention:
