When Marshall McDougall woke up on May 9th, 1999, he probably had no idea that he was about to enter the college baseball record books.

Florida State was squaring off against Maryland, and clearly McDougall was locked in when he woke up that morning.

After starting the game with a single, McDougall would go crazy, homering in SIX STRAIGHT at-bats.

That's right - McDougall would launch six long balls in a row, leading his team to a monster 26-2 win.

McDougall would have a total of 25 bases in the game as well.

Here are the highlights from the game:
