| Breaking News |  | Tuesday, May 5th, 2020: Meyer Torches Sheepdogs for 5 Hits
"It was like I was hitting little league pitching," said Tyrone Meyer after his 5-hit performance against the Sheepdogs. "No offense meant to Durham College, but it was like I was back in little league again. I could see the ball that well. But this wasn't a kid league park, it was Beachcombers Ballpark."
The Rochelle College third baseman had a fantastic day at the plate, knocking out 5 hits in 5 at-bats and pacing his club to a 7-2 victory.
His manager elaborated after the game to the press, saying, "Tyrone worked the entire offseason on trying to shorten his swing and stay inside the ball and the hard work is paying off in base hits."
"That's what I'm trying to do," Meyer said. "Be quick to the ball and let it travel a little farther so I get a better look at it."
T. Meyer singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, doubled in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off M. Flores in the 9th.
In his 2020 season totals, Meyer has 1 home run, .360 BA, .379 OBP, 19 RBIs and 18 runs scored.

| Thursday, April 16th, 2020: Baird Shuts out Wildwood Lake College
On the hill Tyler Baird stood out and was the master of the moment as he blanked Wildwood Lake College 10-0.
At bat the Colonials floundered, fizzled and failed to score.
"His fastball moves and he mixes in the slider," the Wildwood Lake College manager said. "He kept us off-balance."
The Rochelle College pitcher hurled a 4-hit shutout in an exceptional effort. He gave up 1 walk and had 10 strikeouts.
"I felt good," Baird said. "That's probably the best fastball I've had all season. I was able to locate it pretty well. They were super-aggressive, which helped me."
