First Home Run at Cooperstown from Jarrod Skeggs on Vimeo.

It was Sunday morning, June 14, 2009, bottom of the first inning. Stephen Skeggs was up to bat for the first time in the tournament. There were 2 outs. Drew Hubbard was on 2nd base and Alex Keown was on 1st base. The Eagles were losing 3-0 at this point in the game. Skeggs steps into the batter’s box with a count of 1 ball and 1 strike. On the next pitch, he launches the ball over the left field wall to tie the ballgame. The Eagles ended up winning the game 15-3 by slaughter rule.

The video is a little grainy and small here but I figured I’d capture it as best as possible. You can view it in HD (still a bit grainy) on my Vimeo page if you wish.
