Longest home run I've seen hit by a Beaver -  and I've seen some beauties, including Jacoby Ellsbury's shot down the leftfield line that reached the edge of Washington Way - was Jim Wilson against Washington State in the 1982 season finale. Was hit just left or right of the lamppost beyond left-centerfield and reached the back row of the parking lot. If marking it off on GoogleEarth is to be believed it was right around 500 feet. ![]() |

Adley hit one off the restaurant facade at Safeco vs. Coastal Carolina. That was a shot. Against Minnesota? Nobody homered in the Coastal Carolina game. Correct. I was there with my buddy who is a Minnesota grad. Even he was impressed with that shot. And they retrieved the ball and handed it to Adley. What a shot that was! |

Liked the bat flip by Melton on his grand slam.

A buddy of mine said Adley's blast at Surprise was the longest ball he has seen hit there...including major leaguers. He was my old high school baseball coach.
