The Mount Marty Lancers baseball team have been rolling to start the season as they are (17-4) heading into their GPAC opener this weekend, and a major part of that success has been catcher Billy Hancock.
Hancock leads the Lancers with 6 home runs on the season, giving him a total of 44 in his career, which is currently 3rd all time at MMU. Hancock trails 2nd place Tim Lorang, who had 45 career home runs, and all-time Lancer leader Jason Nelson who hit 46 homers during his time at MMU. With more than twenty-five games left, Hancock is currently on pace to break the record by the end of the season.
Hancock’s next opportunity to move up in the record books will be this weekend, as the Lancers are currently scheduled to have a 4-game series against the Briar Cliff Chargers, weather permitting.
