It has never been done in Major League Baseball. It may well never be done in Major League Baseball. But the Kansas Jayhawks pulled off an unprecedented feat on Wednesday afternoon, hitting five consecutive home runs in their game against Minnesota.

When grad student Jackson Hauge came to the plate in the third inning, the previous four batters had all gone deep, and he had already hit one homer in the game an inning prior. What were the odds he had another one in him to make a little history? Hauge, of course, defied the probability and put a charge into a no-doubter to deep left-center field at U.S. Bank Stadium, the home of the Vikings.

They very nearly made it to a touchdown, but the Jayhawks settled at five straight when the next batter, Tommy Barth, grounded out to shortstop.

To put this feat into historical perspective at the college level, five consecutive home runs has actually been done three times before, according to the NCAA, by South Carolina (2006), Eastern Illinois (1998) and Centenary LA (1992).

As for the Majors, four straight is the record, and it's happened 11 times, most recently in 2022 by the Cardinals. On three of those occasions, a Drew brother was involved in the home run barrage (Stephen Drew in 2010 and J.D. Drew in both 2007 and 2006). So it only stands to reason, if five straight is ever going to happen in the bigs (and that's a big if), it might take both Drew brothers coming out of retirement to make the improbable possible.
