A video of a Minnesota college baseball player being ejected for flipping his bat after crushing a mammoth home run has gone viral.
Drake Siens, a junior at Gustavus Adolphus in St. Peter, Minnesota, was thrown out of the second game of a doubleheader between the Gusties and St. Olaf on Monday after he crushed a no-doubter over the left-field wall and flipped his bat.

As Siens crossed home plate, the umpire ejected him for the bat flip. And it didn’t take long for the ump to toss head coach Brad Baker for arguing the ejection. A fan in the stands can be heard in the video yelling to the ump “Are you enjoying your power?”
Siens, a junior from Rogers who attended St. Michael-Albertville High School, hit two homers in the doubleheader. Gustavus lost the first game but won the second to clinch at least a share of the MIAC regular season championship.
Siens is batting .394 with seven homers this season and he leads the MIAC with a 1.195 OPS. He’s tied for second in the conference in home runs and RBIs (37) and leads the MIAC with 16 doubles.
