Using a golf club instead of a bat, amateur Hudson Swafford hits a high home run off pitcher Don Mayhem against the New York Mets, scoring a touchdown in the third quarter for the Los Angeles Padres which brought home the winning run.
Goalee Michael Michaels said "I've heard of clubs beating diamonds before, but I've never seen anything like this."

Lost Dime Interrupts Baseball Game

New York Mets Angel Pagan virtually destroyed the ballgame as he went down on hands and knees looking for a dropped dime.
It is unclear whether the dime was his, or had been thrown by a fan in the grandstands.
This is not the first time he has scrambled around on the field looking for spare change. Earlier this week, he found a Kennedy half-dollar near third base.
