Watch this unusual triple-hit help the Giants reach the World Series

Hunter Pence is one hell of a talented right fielder and now we can add "amazing three-hitter" to his resume.

When replayed on a 3,000 frames-per-second camera, Pence’s bat can be seen making contact with the ball on three occasions as it breaks in his hand. At last, “one, two, three…” has had a happy ending for a batter in baseball.
