Clemson Baseball might have been trailing Ole Miss by six runs at the 2025 Shriners Children’s College Showdown, but that wouldn't stop the Tiger's third baseman, Josh Paino, from making a great trick play.

The play before, a line drive to left field by Hayden Federico, was lined out by Dominic Listi. Listi threw the ball to Paino, who couldn't make a play on Ole Miss' Collin Reuter at third base.

The play seemed to be over, but Paino had sneakily kept the ball in his glove, acting as if he'd passed it on to pitcher B.J. Bailey.

When Reuter stepped off third, Paino was there to make the play, picking off Reuter and sending Ole Miss back to the dugout.
