A Mexican League second baseman played volleyball to pull off a ridiculous putout

Generally speaking, it's easier to field your position using both hands. In the eighth inning of the Aguascalientes Railroaders' Mexican League game against the Saltillo Saraperos last Tuesday, however, Railroaders second baseman Michael Wing didn't have that luxury. 
Saltillo's Engel Beltre had hit a soft chopper between first and second, and by the time Wing got to the ball, he didn't have enough time to glove it, grab it and throw it. So he just whacked it instead:

You can't really blame Beltre for insisting that he was safe as he crossed the bag -- we've watched it like 50 times now and we can't believe it either.
