Michael Gupton hit a homer to give Samford a 5 -1 lead in the Southern Conference tournament.

He leapt and skipped while rounding the bases, breaking with the baseball custom in which players usually keep their celebrations in check immediately after hitting a home run.

Gupton also appeared to yell at Mercer shortstop Bradley Frye and the opposing dugout.

The Mercer coaches voiced their displeasure with the umpires while Frye had to be held back as he approached Gupton .
