BATON ROUGE, LA. - New York Giant outfielder Bobby Thomson hit the "Shot heard around the world" to beat the Brooklyn Dodgers for the 1951 National League pennant.

On Saturday, Little Rock junior Angel Cano hit a three-run homer of his own that helped make school history with the reverberations felt all the way to his native Colombia.

Cano was 4-for-6 with 7 RBI in a 22-10 win over Rhode Island in an elimination game of the Baton Rouge Regional on Saturday afternoon. It was Little Rock's first NCAA Regional win in school history.
