Softball isn’t a game that gets a lot of mainstream attention. That doesn’t mean it’s not interesting — a good softball game is a great watch, especially when something like this happens.

The University of Oregon Ducks were facing off against Ole Miss when, during a throw, pitcher Lyndsey Grein dislodged a chunk of dirt with her cleat. Her pitch somehow hit the dirt square-on, causing fragments of it to end up in the catcher’s eye.

This is one of the wildest thing I've ever seen - Oregon pitcher hits a clump of dirt that flew off her cleat with the pitch and it explodes in mid-air pic.twitter.com/ESRseFmh7t
