A loyal LSU fan got the memory of a lifetime Tuesday when he was hit in the head with a 109 mph homer off the bat of third baseman Tommy White.
A big night for LSU third baseman Tommy White turned out to be a headache for more than just Nicholls State University Tuesday. White, a junior in his second season with the Tigers, led LSU’s 9-0 win over Nicholls State at Alex Box Stadium in Baton Rouge, going 4-for-5 with two homers and four RBIs. But White’s second home run of the evening managed to leave one LSU fan wishing he hadn’t hit it.
In the bottom of the 8th with LSU leading 6-0, White blasted one to the top of the bleachers in left field. The 109 mph liner didn’t exactly make it out of the park and instead hit a fan in the head as he attempted to catch it. The man, Cory, has since gone viral on social media for his post-injury interview. 'I’ve been carrying this glove with me for years, and I was like ‘OK, now’s my time. I got one coming,’' he told reporter Pat Timlin.
According to the school website, White is hitting .341 with 15 homers this year. 'He’s one of the best hitters I’ve ever coached, and one of the best hitters I’ve ever seen,' head coach Jay Johnson told the website. 'I’m happy to see him continue to play his best baseball as we’re going down the stretch.' Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
