A Michigan baseball player has gone viral for a wild in-game cocaine reference during Sunday's 11-0 win over visiting USC.

After cracking an RBI-triple to center in the second inning, second baseman Mitch Voit celebrated his first of three hits on the day by pretending to snort the third-base chalk line.

Initially it looked like he may have hurt his face by sliding face-first into the bag, but Voit quickly popped up to his knees and pretended to fix a straw to his nose while moving his head along the third-base line.

Upon finishing, Voit rapidly lifted his head and gave a possessed gaze towards the crowd in Ann Arbor, where temperatures were in the 40s Fahrenheit on Sunday. 

Despite baseball's complicated history with cocaine, responses online were primarily positive.

Voit is an impressive second baseman for the Wolverines who is riding a 12-game hit streak 

'Michigan baseball players are used to playing in the snow,' Noah Bieniek, a former college ballplayer, joked on X.

'Automatic random drug test after the game,' one fan added online.

Many reacted to Voit's pantomime by writing some version of: 'What a celly.'

One enthusiastic fan declared Voit's celebration to be a 'work of art.'

DailyMail.com has reached out to school spokespeople for comment.

Voit finished 3-for-3 with four RBIs and a walk on Sunday.

A converted pitcher, the Wisconsin native has now hit safely in a dozen consecutive games. He also has five home runs on the season, not to mention a .451 batting average.

After decades in the Pac-12, USC is now a member of the Big Ten conference, which is why a school from Southern California is being forced to play March baseball in Michigan.
