Wednesday just wasn’t the day of Minnesota Golden Gophers’ pitching staff.
The University of Minnesota welcomed Kansas to the US Bank Stadium, the home of the Minnesota Vikings, this week, and the Jayhawks violation were held as the Viking violation.
Kansas won with four touchdowns and defeated Golden Gophers, 29-1, and made history while doing so.

In the third round, from two different throwers, Jayhawk’s five straight homemakers hit the NCAA record in 1992 and drew a achievement that has never been done in the big leagues.
It all started with Chase Diggins’ three-run explosion without outs, but Max Soliz Jr. followed up with a solo shot of his own.
Minnesota went to Bullpen, but it didn’t stop the home drive when Brady Counsell, Brady Ballinger and Jackson Hauge followed Homers. Counsell is the son of former Big Leaguer and current Chicago Cubs Manager Craig Counsell.
The game was called after seven laps due to the rule of mercy.
“I’ve never been part of anything like it,” Counsell said. “I think kind of the moment I didn’t really realize we had three, and after (Brady) Ballinger went deep, there were four. We were a bit like, ‘oh my gosh. What’s going on?'”

After Hauge went deeply, “was it, wow! It’s crazy!” “Country added.
The first college team that hit five consecutive homers was Centenary, which did so against Stephen F. Austin in the first place of a game in 1992. The Eastern Illinois matched the Bragden in the fifth ining against Morehead State in 1998, and before Wednesday it was last implemented by South Carolina against Georgia in 2006.
“I didn’t actually know we had four when I went up to the record because they made a pitching change,” said Hauge, who actually had two homers in the game. “It was Diggins, Soliz and then a pitching change. I just went up there and thought, ‘this would be great to go back-to-back-to-back.’ When I got back in Dugout, they shouted, ‘Five!’ So it was pretty cool.
