If you happened to watch ESPN SportsCenter this weekend, you might have recognized the person who grabbed the top spot in the Top Ten Plays. Hilton High School graduate Preston Prince now pitches for Florida International University-and his diving catch of a bunt attempt in a game with Dallas Baptist University on Saturday earned the accolade. Prince struck out a career high ten batters in the game which FIU lost 12-10.
