That is too cool I would love to know how far that ball went I would say at least 450

Yeah I thought about that shot at La Tech last night. I think last night was longer though.

I absolutely loved the unbridled excitement of his first two words of that call … “Oh No!”

Kind of an odd thing to say, but funny as h.e.l.l. in the moment. :joy:

I spoke to a friend in Kansas. He heard it land outside his house early this morning. :joy:

You might be right. O’Brate is too new to show up on Google Earth, but the OSU track is beyond the right field wall. From that I deduced that Battles hit it pretty much straight north.

Early in the game I noticed the shadow coming from the 3rd baseline stands onto the field. Knew left field was north of home.

I heard Elon Musk lost contact with one of his Starlink satellites about the same time.:grinning:

Okie Lite has done some weird things with their stadium alignments. Most football stadiums, like RRS, are laid out north-south to prevent the sun getting in people’s eyes. But Boone Pickens Stadium a couple of blocks away is laid out east-west because that’s the prevailing wind in Stillpatch. Friday that east wind was blowing in from right field and there were still a couple of homers hit out to right field. I don’t remember noticing the wind last night and it didn’t seem to matter.

I am the most direction challenged person on Earth, no way I could have recognized that, but I’m also not the sharpest pencil in the box :slightly_smiling_face:
