Blackmon judges correctly, makes grab at wall
Blackmon's jumping catch 0:48 9/10/15: Charlie Blackmon ranges back to the wall in center field and makes a great leaping catch to rob Brett Wallace of extra bases SAN DIEGO -- With one out in the bottom of the ninth inning of the Rockies' 4-3 win on Thursday, the Padres sent pinch-hitter Brett Wallace to the plate with hopes of making something happen.
Wallace, who had his first career walk-off RBI in Tuesday's 2-1 Colorado loss, hit what looked like to be a ball heading out of the park in center field off Rockies closer John Axford.
However, center fielder Charlie Blackmon read the ball perfectly, jumping up against the wall and reaching up to make the catch.
