Kyle Schwarber, the Philadelphia Phillies outfielder and former Middletown High School standout who led the National League with 46 home runs during the regular season, extended the Phillies' NLCS Game 1 lead against the San Diego Padres to 2-0 with a solo shot in the 6th inning off of Padres starter Yu Darvish that traveled 488 feet - the longest of Schwarber's Major League Baseball career and Petco Park history.
The Phillies took a 1-0 series lead with a 2-0 win.
It was the 10th postseason home run of Schwarber's career. He entered Tuesday's game 1-for-20 with three walks so far this postseason.
The All-Star outfielder did a memorable dance in the clubhouse as the team celebrated advancing with a Wild Card series win against St. Louis.
