Olerud Launches Number 300:
Pittsburgh first baseman John Olerud pounded a home run during the Panthers 13-2 loss to North Alabama yesterday. Despite the defeat, the long ball was a significant achievement and raised his career home run total to 300.
"Some hitters never live up to the hype," said his manager. "John has definitely lived up to his. He's hammered the heck out of the ball year after year."
The Pittsburgh star went 1 hit for 4 at-bats during the game, scoring 1 run and had 1 RBI.
Lifetime Olerud is batting .307 with 217 doubles, 7 triples, 300 home runs and 812 RBIs in 1011 games.
