When redshirt junior first baseman Will Pendergrass mashed a 405-foot home run in the bottom of the fifth inning during the Bears’ 17-4 win over Stephen F. Austin on Tuesday night, he wasn’t just strutting in front of Baylor baseball fans.
Pendergrass was rounding the bases right in front of his father, Rusty, who’s in his first year as the pitching coach for the Lumberjacks. The father-son duo met at home plate ahead of the midweek bout at Baylor Ballpark, where they shared a laugh and took a picture to commemorate the moment.
