Not only did former Alabama standout Peyton Wilson play in the first minor-league game at the iconic Field of Dreams in Dyersville, Iowa, but he hit a home run while helping lead the Quad Cities River Bandits to a 7-2 victory over the Cedar Rapids Kernels. He called it something he'll never forget. “It felt good coming off the bat but just in case, I ran a little harder to make sure," Wilson told the Quad-City Times. "To be able to do that in this setting, it’s been such an exciting day. The whole day, start to finish, couldn’t have gone any better for us."
