The signing of Vladimir Guerrero, Jr. to a 14-year, $500-million contract wasn’t just big for the Toronto Blue Jays.

Pedal to the Metal

If you don’t like where you’re at, just pedal harder.

That’s what Cory Wouters and Cam Marshak did for their teams in a recent high-scoring clash between McCook Community College Indians and the Colby Community College Trojans.

Wouters – a lefty pitcher and first baseman for the Indians – and Marshak, an infielder with the Trojans, both hit the cover off the ball during an April 1st game at Young Memorial Field in Colby, Kansas, where McCook College outlasted Colby College with a wild 23-22 win after nine innings.

The Saskatchewan products achieved the rare feat of hitting for the cycle. Even more impressive was that they did it competing against each other on the same diamond.
