Baseball player hits grand slam, ball smashes his own truck

SAUGET, Il. -  A professional baseball player in Illinois experienced the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat Sunday night, all in one swing of the bat.

Gateway Grizzlies outfielder Brandon Thomas hit a grand slam in the bottom the second inning, smashing the windshield of a truck in the parking lot. Only after the game did Thomas realize the truck was his!

Thomas, who went 2 for 5 on the day with four RBIs, took the matter in stride, tweeting, “definitely worth it.”

The Grizzlies beat the Joliet Slammers 17-6.
