In 2006 NCAA Super Regional series at Foley Field on June 10, 2006. 5 consecutive HR's ties the NCAA record. USC would hit 8 HR's total in the 15-6 win.
I don't think so, but it is possible. Just the switch from BESR to BBCOR hurts it, but at least they lowered the seams on the baseballs to reconcile some of that.
"Justin Smoak has caught fire ..." (1:38) -- with no one catching the irony. BTW, the ump was doing his best to help the poor pitchers with a couple terrible called strikes.
I remember when this gamecocks team came to cville and whipped virginia out of their own regional. that disher guy hit one I know 450 feet in that regional. crazy power on that team.
I remember listening to this on the radio and was just shocked. It is not easy being a Gamecock and baseball was the thing we always had up until the coaching change.
To all you baseball "geniuses" saying this was just because of the bats...if that were the case then why didn't back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back happen more often in the "era" of those bats? Seems if it were only the bats it would have been happening on a routine basis. And this also wasn't like someone smashing balls off some shitty team with shitty pitchers. This was in a goddamn Super Regional against the #7 national seed. Yes...everyone knows the bats being used had a major impact back then but to try and downplay this feat based solely on that is just asinine, short-sighted and in some cases biased jealousy.
John Persons This isn't just because of the bats, but the bats didn't hurt. Ever since the introduction of bbcor bats, it is a fact that home run totals have greatly decreased. No matter what bats are used, this is an insane feat.
This is a record that is in the same category of insanity as say DiMaggio's record, or Henderson's base record. I bet this record will never be broken. Probably not even tied!!!
The entire SC team was getting some kind of workout! From the dugout to home plate back to the dugout back to home plate back to the dugout back to home plate ...
A pitcher's worse nightmare for sure!!!! When the Vancouver Canadians have a home run, they give a free A&W burger to the crowd... That would have been an expensive game for them lol
and here we are, 2016, where Coastal Carolina has 96 homeruns this season, which would've been about double that back then. Still, regardless of the bat, this is raw af.
The look on that pitcher's face after the last one is priceless. haha. We were only about 10 feet from 6 in a row. Just wish we could have finished it out and headed to Omaha.
Oh gotta love those aluminum bats. I can't believe the juiced up aluminum bats were allowed as long as they were. I saved my lightly used pre-BBCOR Easton Stealth. I still play amateur ball with wood bats and once in a while I'll break out the Stealth at batting practice and it's absolutely ridiculous. I look at in my hands and can't believe the damn thing used to be legal.
USC also had that big run in the CWS in 2002. After losing the first game big to Ga Tech, 11-0, they absolutely destroyed teams and beat rival clemson twice on their way to face off against Texas in the finals. I'm not sure what USC's regular season was like, but I'm pretty sure they were a top 8 national seed.
I've been waiting for this for 20 years there are two people in college that have hit six home runs in a row no one has hit 5 in the majors four of them or hit against University of Georgia by Bo Jackson he went on the next day to get two more the man that hit the other six was a good friend of mine one hell of a ballplayer recently passed away the story is epic and should be told my friend Ray Shepherd build it he will come sweet swing Cancer Sucks
