I wish I had taken a screenshot of the PBP, but I was a bit too exasperated by the context of the bomb in that particular game (erasing a 2-0 lead to give the Lords a 3-2 lead in the bottom of the 5th, although the Brewers would go on to win 9-7), but as I recall the wording was rather fitting.
If I remember correctly, it said something about Schimmel having launched the ball into orbit around Community Stadium (home of the Lords).
Edit: Also just checked and the wind was blowing out to left, which is where he hit this (over a tall warehouse that is right behind the left-field wall) but only at 9 mph.
