In the top of the sixth inning, Simpson unleashed a bomb to left field to tie the game at six between the Huskies and Broncos.
Video of the home run caught Simpson’s entire trip around the bases, and many are wondering why he was ejected. As Simpson hits the ball, he begins running down the first baseline, staring at the ball while still holding his bat.
He eventually flipped the bat before starting to round the bases.
