That was the second six of Andreas Goss’s innings, which he hit against MI New York bowler Tajinder Singh on the third ball of the 8th over of Washington Freedom’s innings. Even though that six covered a distance of 93 meters, the big thing was that before covering the distance, the total height to which the ball reached after hitting the bat was 305 feet.
