Simmons Laces 3 HR Against Georgia Tech
Wednesday, March 19th , 2025
California Golden Bears shortstop Jon Simmons sensed he was going to have a good day at the plate, but he still might have underestimated it a little.

Prior to the start of today's contest with the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets, Simmons told teammates he was sure he would hit a home run. He did -- three times.

"During batting practice I really had my swing down pat," he recalled. "I felt some thunder in the lumber."

The big day from Simmons pushed the Golden Bears past the Yellow Jackets, 8-2. To go along with the homers, he collected 4 RBIs and scored 3 runs.

"I was seeing good, feeling good and swinging good," Simmons told reporters after the game.

Jon Simmons singled in the 2nd, hit a solo-shot off Brooks Crosby in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Hector Martinez in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Jason Hasbrook in the 8th.

In his season totals, Simmons has 3 home runs, .216 BA, .256 OBP, 5 RBIs and 4 runs scored. He has played in 10 games.
Oklahoma's Worley Will Miss Season
Wednesday, March 19th , 2025
Nate Worley of the Sooners just might have to call it quits for the season. The 21-year-old Oklahoma reliever received a possible season-ending injury against the Iowa State Cyclones recently at Cap Timm Field. Worley suffered a fractured elbow while throwing a pitch. The Sooners medical staff said he could be out quite some time, as much as 4-5 months.

So far this year, Worley has been credited with no saves, registered a 1.80 ERA and struck out 1 in 5 innings. He also has a 0-0 record.
Four-bagger Feast: DeYoung Slugs 3 for Miami
Monday, March 17th , 2025
It was a day for the record books for Miami Hurricanes shortstop Lance DeYoung, who walloped three out of Duane Banks Field against the Hawkeyes. However, not even a three-homer game could prevent the Hawkeyes from getting the 6-5 victory.

"We threw some good pitches and they hit 'em, and we made some bad pitches and they hit 'em. That's a good strategy for losing ballgames," Miami skipper Josh Roberson joked after the loss.

DeYoung still had a few opportunities to celebrate along the way. He was 3-for-4 for the day, batting in 3 runs and scoring 3 times.

"I never, ever thought I would hit three home runs," DeYoung said. "I hit three home runs once when I was 12 in Little League and I thought that was going to be the last time."

Lance DeYoung hit a solo-shot off Jacob Musgrave in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Jacob Musgrave in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Byron Riddle in the 7th and flied out in the 9th.

This year, DeYoung is hitting .308 with 8 hits, 4 home runs, 4 RBIs and has scored 7 runs.
