It only took an inning for Will Robertson to remind the dozens in attendance why he’s an All-American. On a 1-2 offering from Omaha starter Tyler Daugherty, Robertson mashed a fastball and sent a laser shot into the right field berm, the ball burying itself in the turf as it made its way halfway to the earth’s core. The exit velo off of Robertson’s bat was likely in the triple digits, but because the technology wasn’t set up, let’s just assume it left his bat at over 9,000 miles per hour.
It counted for two runs since Parker Upton was shimmying through rain drops on second base after he hit a one out double.
