Not many baseball players ever pull off this particular kind of double play, and now two Tigers have done it in one inning. In the 5th inning of the LSU-Tulane game at the Box, with LSU leading 3-2, Ryan Schimpf came up with 1 out and no one on. He hit a solo home run to right field against Tulane starter Aaron Loup. Blake Dean followed it up with a solo home run of his own, chasing Loup. With 2 outs in the inning, Schimpf came up again against the third Greenie pitcher of the inning with Mikie Mahtook on second base. Schimpf homered to right field again, giving him a rare 2-home-run-inning. To make matters worse for the Greenies, Blake Dean followed it up with yet another home run to make the score 13-2 in favor of the Tigers.
Two LSU hitters hitting two home runs in the same inning? Has this ever happened?

This is awesome...
I think two players going back to back twice in one game has happened like less than 25 times in all of the MLB. For the Astros, I know that Biggo and Bagwell hit back to back HR’s in two consecutive trips to the plate, but it didn’t happen in the same inning. That happened like 5 years ago or something.
MLB history
I looked up MLB history and players going back to back twice in the same game, much less the same inning, has never happened. I’m fairly confident in saying this has never happened at the college or pro level.
It’s no wonder Tulane ran home early.
Check this out...
Astros did it twice in a game with the same two players. I thought it was Biggio-Bagwell but this says it’s Biggio-Berkman…The article alludes to the fact that it had been done before as well. So it has happened twice in a game but the odds of it happening twice in an inning is next to nothing.
