Homer Simpson delivered a fire-starter.

In the bottom of the second inning of the Oklahoma State baseball team’s 4-3 win against Oklahoma, Cowboy catcher Colin Simpson was looking for one thing.

“It was a 2-1 count, so I was just hitting dead red fastball,” Simpson said. “And I got the fastball, so I just let the swing do the work.”

There was a strong north wind blowing through the stadium from left field all game. On Simpson’s home run, he said he knew if he hit it to right field, the ball would probably carry to the foul pole.
