Call it the catch heard 'round Chester County.

Taoyuan City (Chinese Taipei) routed Kennett Square, 12-1, in the Junior League World Series championship game Sunday in Taylor, Mich. The tournament is for 13- and 14-year-old players.

Kennett Square pitcher Louis Sharp went two innings, surrendering five runs, and four hits to take the loss.

But it was Jack Regenye's highlight-reel catch in center field, which sent him tumbling over the fence to take away a home run, that stole the show.
