Clemson: Bombs Away
By Craig Jackson - June 03, 2006
Top of the fifth and MSU has a rally going. Ed easley on third after a double and passed ball. Berkerey walked intentionally to bring up Brian LaNinfa. LaNinfa had dramatic walk off HR against Arkansas earlier in the year, as well as against Auburn in State wins. So the stage is set. Wind blowing in. And here comes the pitch.....and there it goes! And I do mean goes!
Over the rightfield fence at the 375 mark, and the space between the fence and the Solid Orange batting facility, AND the entire Solid Orange facility itslef. Estimates range from 475 to over 500 feet. Clemson fans say they have seen ball hit the buidling, and maybe even one hit the roof. But no one has ever seen one CLEAR the building. All we can hope is that someone hollered FORE as it went out of sight. State takes 5-0 lead into bottom of fifth.
