Wildcats Van Slyke Hits 300th Homer:
The crowd roared -- they knew they were seeing history -- and Andy Van Slyke was delighted, too. The 26-year-old Wildcats center fielder was making history with his 300th career homer. The crowd buzzed and roared again when Van Slyke stuck his head out of the dugout for a curtain call.
"Never, as a kid, did I ever think I'd hit even one," he told BNN after hitting No. 300 in a 12-5 victory over Pepperdine. Van Slyke went 3-for-4 in the game, had 3 RBI, and scored 3 runs.
His career stats show that Van Slyke has batted .331 and connected for 301 home runs.
