The sky was clear on a picturesque 79-degree night in Omaha, Nebraska but thunder roared early and often as the Florida Gators brought their big sticks to the park and advanced in the 2015 College World Series with a 10-2 win over Miami.
Harrison Bader led the game off with a 414-foot home run (the longest ever recorded at TD Ameritrade at the time) and Buddy Reed followed suit with a 412-foot, two-run blast (the second longest home run every recorded at the park) to give Florida a 3-0 lead over Miami. Richie Martin added a line drive, opposite field home run in the sixth inning and Pete Alonso told Bader to step aside in the record books with an absolute monster of a home run in the seventh inning, measured at 421 feet.
