Pfeiffer's fantastic and rare baseball feat

Pfeiffer won that game, 17-2 in seven innings (run rule) and swept the series against Averett over the weekend.

MISENHEIMER, N.C. — The Pfeiffer baseball team did something so rare on Sunday, they say there's no documentation of it ever happening before at the NCAA level.

In order, the team hit for a solo home run, a two-run home run, a three-run home run, and a grand slam -- all in one inning.

Here's how it happened.

In the fourth inning of the first game of a doubleheader, Jackson Leck hit a solo home run to put the Falcons up 4-2 over Averett.

Two batters later, Landon Evans hit a two-run home run.

First baseman Austin Morton followed with a three-run homer.

And to cap off the "home run cycle," Morton came up again in the same inning and belted a grand slam to make it 16-2.

The team says that "according to available NCAA records, that has never been documented in NCAA collegiate baseball at any level."
