Neil Hill is the season 7 Homerun Derby champ. Mr. Hill started the first round off with a bang knocking eleven of the first seventeen balls he saw out of the park. Though his numbers tailed off afterwards his first round total of thirteen was good enough to secure a spot in round number two. Also advancing to round two was Pascual Martin with a first round total of ten. Don Leach and Alberto Tavarez both also advanced after surviving an epic swing off with Matt Gagne and Desi Blanco. In the second round P.Martin launched nine balls out of the park securing a spot in the finals with a two round total of nineteen. Though N.Hill only managed to hit three over the wall,his two round total of sixteen was enough to beat out D.Leach and M.Gagne and allowed him to advance to the winner take all finals. And what a finals it was. Hill started the show off by sending seven balls to the street before a line drive just over the third base line ended it. Undeterred Martin smashed seven of his own including a 532 feet shot down the right field line that earned a couple from Indiana a cool million when the ball hit one of the Coke targets located at each foul pole. The tie sent the two into a sudden death swing-off. Hill wrapped the first ball he saw on the fair side of the right field pole taking the lead. It proved to be the winner when Martin grounded out in his first at bat. Final round total 8-7
