Matt Carpenter Channels Willie Mays Hayes With Acrobatic Run

Trying to score from third base on Matt Holliday's first-inning fly ball to Reds center fielder Billy Hamilton on Friday, Matt Carpenter used some split-second improvisation by somersaulting over catcher Brayan Pena, a la Wesley Snipes' Willie Mays Hayes from the movie "Major League."

The Cardinals fell behind in the first inning to the Reds, but answered quickly. Matt Carpenter led off with a double, moved to third on a grounder and scored on a tag play.

Eighteen times in this early season, Matt Carpenter has led off an inning for the St. Louis Cardinals. In those plate appearances, Carpenter is batting .375 (6-16) and with four doubles and a pair of walks.
