In college baseball action on Saturday, the Florida Gators took down Stony Brook, 8-0, but the shutout was only made possible by a remarkable throw from center fielder Nick Horvath.
The game was still scoreless in the top of the third when Chris Hamilton doubled to lead off the inning for Stony Brook. Michael Wilson popped out, but Nick Grande followed with a base hit to center.
Hamilton rounded third to try to give Stony Brook the lead. Horvath had different ideas:

Toast.
The fact that Horvath was falling down as he made the throw only makes his accuracy more remarkable. He's clearly also been studying at the Carlos Gómez School of Outfield Assists.

Extra points for style.
