Trojan third baseman Hector Estrella got one out of the park, marking only the second time I've seen it done in all the time I've been going to Blair Field. Dingers are few and far between at the college level anyway, and Blair is just a tough, tough park for hitters. Left fielder T.J. Mittelstaedt makes a showy but futile leaping attempt as the ball not only cleared the wall but bounces onto Federation Drive beyond. Besides the two that went fair, one of the Dirtbags also got hold of a ball that cleared the wall but was just inside of the third base foul pole. It was a good day for the longball. There were many chicks in the stands.
