Yes. I loved your shot. So hard to time it right even with lots of fps. I had a sneaky suspicion that it may have been a foul ball, but you titled it "Contact", not "Home Run" so it is fine with me.

What an action shot. Also the black, green, and red stripes look like a flag. Congratulations on the front page placement, bobnospum!!

I think this game in particular had very little action for the first 6 innings. Then had 6 or 7 runs scored after that. So it can be hit or miss.
