Joe Panik with the play of the Series

It's been a wild three innings in Game 7 as both teams scored two runs in the second and the Giants knocked Tim Hudson from the box -- the first Game 7 starter since Bob Turley in 1960 to not last at least two innings.

With Jeremy Affeldt on in relief in the third, Lorenzo Cain led off with a line drive to right field following an impressive eight-pitch at-bat. Eric Hosmer then grounded a fastball up the middle that Joe Panik made a fabulous diving stop on and glove flipped to second. Brandon Crawford then completed the double play with Hosmer diving into first.

Hosmer was originally ruled safe, but after a long review of 2 minutes and 57 seconds, the play was overturned and Hosmer was ruled out (correctly, it appeared). How huge will Panik's play look by the end of the game?
