Florida High School Baseball Star Ties National Record

With a name like Austin Glorious, you'd expect something great.  Well, Austin delivered in a recent game for his Windermere Prep School of Florida.  Playing first base against Faith Christian of Florida, Glorious blasted 5 home runs and accumulated 17 RBI's, both of which are believed to tie prep records, according to the National Federation of State High School Associations.  Austin would have set the RBI record of 18, but one of the runners was called out due to missing a base following his 5th home run.  The record performance also helped his team to an astounding 38-0 victory...(what happened to the 10-run rule?)

“I was just trying to hit the ball hard,” said Glorius, who said his baseball idol is Texas Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton. “There’s no other feeling like it.”
