Velasquez Bombs 3 HR Against USC
Tuesday, March 11th , 2025
Danny Velasquez must believe in the Big Bang theory. He proved it by banging three deep against the USC Trojans. The hard-hitting Virginia Tech Hokies shortstop added a lot of firepower and excitement to the 5-4 Hokies win, leaving fans and the opposing dugout buzzing about his standout performance.
"He looked real good today," USC manager Rich Dagnese said later. "I think the guys were awful impressed by him. Frustrated, but impressed."
For the game, Velasquez had 3 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 5, and scored 3 runs. The 21-year-old is known in league circles as a tireless worker, and told reporters he has recently been putting in extra time fine-tuning his swing, "to keep it short, compact and simple."
"Looks like it worked today," he said.
Danny Velasquez hit a solo-shot off Juan Garcia in the 1st, hit a three-run home run off Juan Garcia in the 3rd, grounded out in the 5th, struck out in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Frank Lima in the 10th.
