Timely Home Run Derby In Middlebrooks Family

Will's Kid Sister

ESPN Boston's Gordon Edes writes about a fascinating coincidence that occurred this past Sunday. Lacey Middlebrooks—the younger sister of new Sox phenom Will Middlebrooks—connected on a home run at virtually the identical time that her big bro was clouting his first MLB round-tripper (which happened to have been a grand slam).

The younger Middlebrooks sibling plays varsity softball at Tulsa and—as Edes details—has been competitive with Will since childhood. But going yard at precisely the same time (about 3:17 PM EDT)? Cut it out, Lacey!
