BERWICK, Pa. -- A local high school softball player made an incredible - and painful - catch to rob a homer and found herself on SportsCenter.

The video posted to Twitter by Atlantic Broadband Channel 10's Doug Farley shows Berwick Area High School sophomore Katie Starr colliding full speed with the center field fence while snagging a long fly ball hit by Crestwood High School senior Haley Naperkowski.

Starr held onto the ball and according to Farley, returned to the game to hit a solo home run herself to help lead Berwick to a 5-3 win.

ESPN caught wind of Katie's spectacular grab and aired it in SportsCenter's Top 10 Plays on Tuesday.
