Home run wasn’t to be until two OFs tipped the ball over the wall

May 29, 2017, 11:54 AM

This above video clip might best be viewed if you first mute the video and put on Daniel Powter’s “Bad Day.”

That’s because it was a pretty rough day for two Kannapolis Intimidators outfielders.

The Chicago White Sox’s Class A prospects both converged on a liner hit by Greensboro Grasshopper Alex Jones to left-center field. When center fielder Joel Booker saw the ball skip off his glove, it wasn’t the worst thing with the Intimidators leading 5-0 in the fifth inning.

But it then bounced off the chest of the left fielder Jameson Fisher and popped over the wall for a home run that shouldn’t have been.

Luckily for Fisher and Booker, it didn’t cost Kannapolis, which continued to cruise in an 8-1 victory Sunday.

Still, that’s pretty bad luck.
