Introduction
Dylan Leach, backup catcher for Arkansas hit for the cycle last week against UCA then added something special at the end. His order was: 3B, 1B, 2B & HR. Leach, a switch hitter, came to the plate a 5th time and hit from the other side…and hit another HR. 5/5 for the backup C ain’t too shabby!
Our beatdown today honors the feat.
Warm-O-Rama
– Arm Circles. Forward & backward OYO
– Sun dial Inch Worm. Hands to the sky then SLOWLY reach for toes then slowly inch work out. Return to the top.
– 21s with pain for punishment. The Q screwed up and biffed it for everyone. Pain was 4-man teams holding picnic tables then curling down to “Bodies Hit the Floor” from Exicon.
