Dontrelle's grand slam of Jose Lima was EPIC


Can't find the video but:


Marlins ride D-Train grand slam, pitching past Mets




NEW YORK (AP) -- Dontrelle Willis made up his mind on his way to the plate. With the bases loaded in the fourth inning Friday night and New York Mets starter Jose Lima struggling, Willis decided he would swing at the first pitch.

Elias Says
Dontrelle Willis' grand slam Friday capped a six-run inning for the Marlins. It's the third consecutive game in which Florida has scored at least six runs in an inning. No team had done that without the benefit of a designated hitter since 1959, when the Red Sox did it in three straight games at Yankee Stadium.
For more, see Elias Says.

"He was having trouble with his command," Willis said. "I thought, 'I'm going to swing at whatever he throws.'"

Lima made a mistake and Willis sent it soaring an estimated 405 feet over the right-field bullpen, capping a six-run Florida Marlins rally in a 7-3 victory.
"Everybody says I swing hard," Willis said. "Once in a blue moon, maybe you run into something. Today was that blue moon. I was happy because it put four runs on the board and put momentum on our side. It was important. We won by four."


The slam was the first by a major-league pitcher since Philadelphia's Robert Person connected on June 2, 2002, against Montreal, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.
It was Willis' fourth career homer, first this season, and the first grand slam hit by the Marlins this season.
