NEW ORLEANS, April 8 (UPI) -- An impressive kickball play in New Orleans is going viral after a player performed a front-flip to avoid getting struck by the ball on his way to home.

The video, posted to YouTube by Chris Biernat, depicts a scene from the bottom of the 5th and final inning of Saturday's game between team BROLA and team 2 Reggae 2 Fleek.

The kicker for 2 Reggae 2 Fleek ends up out when the ball is caught, but the player on second -- Andrew "Gumby" Moise -- makes an attempt to steal all the way to home.

Moise's mad dash almost ends right before home when a BROLA player throws the ball at him, but he front-flips to avoid the ball and lands with his hands on home for the run.
