Collegiate Check-up
Josh Ludy continues to make the most of his opportunities.
The 2008 Jay County High School graduate made his second start of the season Tuesday, hit his second home run and reached base four times in the seventh-ranked Baylor University baseball team's 18-1 victory over Northwestern State.
Ludy's big hit came in his second at-bat and capped a 10-run third inning for the Bears (21-9). Already with an 11-0 lead, Ludy blasted a three-run home run to left-center field with teammates Dan Evatt and Ben Booker on base.
The freshman also had an RBI single earlier in the third inning, and doubled to left-center in the fifth.
He drove in a run on a fielder's choice in the first inning.
Ludy finished the game 3-for-4 with five RBIs and three runs.
In 16 at-bats this year, Ludy is batting .438 with six runs and eight RBIs. He has a team-best slugging percentage of 1.063, and six of his seven hits have gone for extra bases.
