From the 2005 College World Series on Omaha.
Arkansas center fielder Brett Eibner hits a game-tying home run with two outs and two strikes in the ninth inning of the Razorbacks' super regional game at Arizona State on June 13, 2010. Arizona State won 7-5 in 12 innings to advance to the College World Series.
Cory Hahn cracks a grand slam off Matt Hobgood during a Southern Section Division 1 Quarterfinal game between the Mater Dei Monarchs and the Norco Cougars. Santa Ana Mater Dei defeated Norco 7-4 to move onto the semifinals at Long Beach's Blair Field. Hobgood, the 2009 Gatorade California High Player of the Year, entered the game with a perfect 11-0 record and 0.33 ERA. Hahn, a junior outfielder/pitcher, is a top college prospect. In his next at-bat, Hahn took Hobgood deep again for a solo home run, his second dinger of the game.
