There’s having a day on the baseball diamond, and then there’s what Northern Kentucky University’s Liam McFadden-Ackman did on Sunday afternoon. He accomplished a feat that only Fernando Tatis can say he did in Major League Baseball history, let alone college baseball.
The NKU Norse were facing off against Western Michigan, and things got ugly real early for the Broncos. After scoring once in the first, Western Michigan took an early lead to the bottom of the frame, but wouldn’t hold onto it for long.
Northern Kentucky unleashed 14 runs in that first inning, and McFadden-Ackman is a key reason why that occurred.

He hit two grand slams in the same inning. Now, read that again.
With the bases loaded, McFadden-Ackman, the Norse’s four-hole hitter, roped a ball to left field that had home run written all over it off the bat. Four runs came across to score and NKU was in control after giving up that one run to WMU.

But the Norse weren’t done. They capitalized on every opportunity they had putting up five more runs until the lineup came back around to McFadden-Ackman with the bases juiced again.
He connected well on another ball, and while this one hung in the air longer than the first, it eventually cleared the fence for another grand slam.
