UW-Milwaukee's Grant Ross gets homer thanks to 'Canseco' head bounce

[ASFN Admin]

UW-Milwaukee's Grant Ross didn't quite get all of a pitch in the bottom of the fifth inning against Central Florida in the NCAA Tournament.

But thanks to a fortuitous bounce, the ball still went over the fence for a home run at Plainsman Park in Auburn, Alabama.

That's because it bounced off the head of UCF centerfielder DeAmez Ross.

Ouch.

The play was reminiscent of an infamous play in major-league baseball history in 1993, when the same thing happened to Jose Canseco with the Texas Rangers.
