"Gators beat Stetson at home"

^ After a 22-2 beat down, Schwarz hitting 4 homers, Schwarz getting 10 RBI's, the Gators hitting 7 home runs as a team, and breaking numerous records, that's the catchy headline Bowl Cut Boy came up with. :facepalm:

Shvantz was swinging the big stick last night, but he wasn't the only one. The Gators had seven homers and three doubles. We needed this, the Gators have been in a bit of a slump lately. BTW, J.J. Shvantz is still a freshman so he's got a lot of games as a Gator left.

The Gator bats were hot last night. Not even the rain delay could cool them off. we were actually down 2-1 at one point in this game.

I watched last night until it was 15-2. I guess he hit his 4th afterwards. Homering in three straight at bats was also impressive. They were all struck hard, no doubt type shots.

A truly rare event, accomplished in the pro game by no more than 16 players, never more than once by any player. This is an interesting read from Wiki:

Writers of Sporting News described hitting four home runs in a single Major League Baseball (MLB) game as "baseball's greatest single-game accomplishment".[SUP][1][/SUP] 16 players have accomplished the feat to date, the most recent being Josh Hamilton of the Texas Rangers on May 8, 2012. No player has done this more than once in his career and no player has ever hit more than four in a game. Bobby Lowe was the first to hit four home runs in a single game, doing so on May 30, 1894. Fans were reportedly so excited that they threw $160 in silver coins ($4,400 today) onto the field after his fourth home run.

Notice how his teammates ignore him after the 4th homer. Hilarious.

Very funny. Great feat, regardless of the (lack of) celebration. Promising future for Gator Baseball.

Our 2 freshmen catchers (Schwarz and Rivera) are both doing well, hitting around .300. Rivera actually won SEC freshman of the week honors not long ago. Great to see the next couple of years at catcher looking solid.
