Detroit Tigers prospect Justyn-Henry Malloy stepped up to the plate Wednesday with his team trailing the Texas Rangers 4–0 and in need of a spark.
Jacqueline and Henry Malloy, the outfielder's parents, watched intently from their seats as their son, who was called up to the big leagues Monday, searched for his first career hit.
On a 3–1 count, Malloy crushed a Jose Ureña sinker 413 feet into the left field seats for his first career knock. Bally Sports Detroit's cameras panned to his parents in the crowd, who were in a perfect state of pure elation and disbelief.
