McCain Cracks 3 HR for Spartans Tuesday, April 30th , 2024 The old superstition that "bad news comes in threes" certainly came true for the Jesuit High School Tigers. Villa Park High School center fielder Nick McCain tripled up on the home runs to propel the Spartans to a win, 16-9, at Paul Straub Field at Hyer Family Park. "We had our chances to win the game, but we just didn't come through," Jesuit High School manager Tony Brown said. "McCain hit the heck out of the ball." In addition to the homers, McCain collected 4 hits in 5 at-bats, 5 RBIs and scored 4 runs. "Easy swings get you home runs," he said after the game. "I kept telling myself not to press. They have to be nice and easy swings." Nick McCain hit a solo-shot off Steve Grahl in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, grounded out in the 6th, hit a two-run home run off Josh Contreras in the 7th, hit a solo-shot off Keith Herbaugh in the 8th and was hit by a pitch in the 9th. A look at his current stats shows McCain with a .321 average, 12 home runs, 31 RBIs and 27 runs scored. He has played in 34 games. |
