Adeiny Hechavarria turned a fly ball off the Tropicana Field catwalk into a wild 6-4 double play

The catwalks above Tropicana Field have claimed plenty of victims over the years, from foul balls to Francisco Lindor's sanity. But on Saturday night, its reign of terror finally came to an end.
In the seventh inning of Seattle's 7-6 win over the Rays, Mariners catcher Mike Zunino lifted a high fly ball to left field -- so high, in fact, that it ricocheted off one of the catwalks. But, just when it seemed that the play would descend into chaos, Tampa Bay shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria came through:

Hechavarria somehow managed to track the ball after it struck the catwalk, made the catch on the fly and even threw to second in time to turn a double play for good measure. Take notes, Kevin Kiermaier .
