History made. Record broken.
Multiple records fell in 2025, including a team mark that stood for 15 years. Tai Jones’ final home run of the season gave JA Baseball 35 team homers, establishing a new benchmark for Raider Baseball.

This is the farthest ball I’ve ever seen hit in my life. The trees you see out there: it went OVER them and still rising. Hence why you can’t see the ball land. Great to get game 1 Win!
