Bauder at the Bat

The outlook wasn’t brilliant for the Georgetown Nine that day; The score stood 30-2 but one inning more to play. And then, when Hokies batters hit the bases full again; A sudden sickly silence fell upon the Hoya men.

For the batter was none other then Brad Bauder at the plate; He had just hit for his seventh; could he make it 8 for 8? He had shattered Big East records; one by one he watched them fall; By the eighth inning already he’d hit three over the wall!

When he stepped into the box an eerie quiet hushed the crowd; Although Bauder stood there silent, people knew his bat was loud.
