The above is the only way moving forward that inside the park home runs should be allowed to end. Raph Rhymes of LSU hit his first inside-the-park homerun since t-ball during No. 3 LSU’s win over No. 14 Ole Miss 7-1 this week and the collision at the plate was as solid as it gets. The video shows how Rhymes was flipped as he ran into catcher Stuart Turner who was blocking the plate.
Following the game Raph spoke about the flip:
“I tell you, I will never do that again,” Rhymes said. “I didn’t know where I was until I landed. I got up, and I felt all right.”
