Hank Zeisler crushed a three-run walk-off home run to beat the Joliet Slammers 6-3 and push his career total to 52, shattering the Florence Y'alls' all-time franchise home run record during a 10-game winning streak that has the club at 44-30.
Zeisler, the Y'alls' captain and a Kentfield, California, native, broke the previous franchise mark of 46 home runs during a seven-game homestand at Thomas More Stadium. He went 15-for-24 (.625 batting average) with eight home runs, 19 RBI and 11 runs scored over that stretch, earning Frontier League Player of the Week honors. It was the first time a Y'alls player earned the award in the 2026 season.
The walk-off blast against Joliet capped the most productive individual homestand in recent franchise memory.
Zeisler's Player of the Week selection was his first since June 2025, according to the NKY Tribune. The longtime fan favorite averaged a home run nearly every three at-bats during the homestand.
The winning streak is the longest of the season for the Y'alls, who are managed by former MLB catcher Toby Hall in his first season leading the club. Florence sat at 44-30 through Aug. 5.
Zeisler isn't the only Y'alls player chasing history. Outfielder Tyler Shaneyfelt, a 24-year-old NKU graduate from Dayton, Ohio, had 44 stolen bases as of Aug. 1 and was closing in on his own franchise single-season record of 46, set during his first year in Florence in 2025.
The Y'alls hosted the Frontier League All-Star Game at Thomas More Stadium on July 14-15, as we reported July 22. The second half of the season has been even better than the first for the club on Freedom Way.
Shaneyfelt needs just three more steals to match his own record, with plenty of regular season left to get there.
