Thrice Is Nice: Dean Unloads 3 Homers Tuesday, December 24th , 2047 Caleb Dean went on an explosive hitting spree against the University of California Golden Bears at Illinois Field today, launching a trio of blasts to lead the University of Illinois Fighting Illini to the 5-4 win. The catcher finished 3-for-4 with 3 runs scored and 3 RBI. "It was just one of those days," Dean said in a postgame interview. "I don't know how to explain it. I'm just putting a good swing on the ball." University of California skipper Hunter Watson said Dean was "locked-in." "We made some pretty good pitches," he said. "Those first two homers were exactly where the pitcher wanted to put them. He's just hot right now -- you've just got to tip your hat to him." Caleb Dean flied out in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Karl-Anthony Aure in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Karl-Anthony Aure in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Jimmy Bolton in the 8th. To date Dean has chalked up a .286 average with 19 home runs, driven in 49 runs and scored 44 times. |
