On this day in 1999, Marshall McDougall put together arguably the greatest individual game in baseball history 🤯
The Florida State slugger went 7-for-7 with:
⚾ 6 HR
⚾ 16 RBI
⚾ 25 total bases
All NCAA single-game records.
After singling in his first at-bat against Maryland, McDougall homered in his next SIX plate appearances, completing a “home run cycle” with a solo shot, 2-run HR, 3-run HR and grand slam in a 26-2 win.
Nine SEC teams! Who could’ve guessed! 🤯
• Go 1-8 against the ACC, Big 12, and Big Ten in the postseason.
• Get 5 bids to the CFP and fail to even reach the national championship game for a THIRD consecutive season.
• Have your conference champion be a one-and-done in the CFP for a second consecutive season.
• Have your conference runner-up end with a 35-point loss in a game viewed by 23.9 million people.
• Have your 11-1 third place finisher score 3 points and lose a CFP game at home.
• Finish with a losing record to the ACC (second time in the last three years).
