Ty Evans isn’t ready for Florida’s season to end.
Evans hit 2 home runs in the first 3 innings of Florida’s elimination game against LSU on Sunday in Omaha. The 2nd blast was a grand slam which put Florida on top, 7-3.
The grand slam benefitted from a strong wind in Omaha — it was hit at a launch angle of 51 degrees, far above the optimal angle for a home run.
Here’s a look at the blast:
