If I told you that you were about to watch an inside-the-park grand slam, you’d probably think that’s pretty exciting, right? Fact is, any kind of inside-the-park home run is among the most exciting things that can happen on a baseball field.

How might you make an inside-the-park home run even more wild? How about adding an outfielder running through the outfield wall? Enter Austin Bogart, the left fielder for Stetson University, who did this Sunday:

Yep, that’s quite a moment. Bogart ran into the portion of the left-field wall that opens to bring the batting cage onto the field. So it wasn’t quite the Incredible Hulk smashing through an outfield fence, but it still stopped Bogart in his tracks.

As this was happening, Jake Hand of Southern Illinois — who lined the ball into left — was racing around the bases. Southern Illinois had an 8-0 lead after the inside-the-park grand slam. They eventually won the game 8-4.

At least no one can doubt Austin Bogart’s effort.
