Grand Canyon Lopes left fielder Tyler Wilson hit a game-winning home run against the Nebraska Cornhuskers on Sunday, but he couldn't stick around to see the final score.
Wilson hit a game-tying grand slam in the bottom of the fifth inning. As he trotted toward first base, he threw his bat into the air. However, Wilson was ejected from the game for the bat throw.

Grand Canyon put five runs on the plate in the inning to tie the game at eight apiece. The Cornhuskers broke the deadlock in the top of the eighth and ultimately won the game 10-8.
“What we didn't like was that after we tied (the Grand Slam), we worked really hard and took big swings to tie the game,” Grand Canyon head coach Gregg Wallis said after the game, via the site school website.

“Then I felt like everyone was trying to do it with one swing instead of continuing with the approach that got us back into the game. We'll fix that.”
