Last game he showed the ability to hit the ball hard the other way; this game she showed the ability to drive the ball out of the ballpark with ease to the opposite field. Looney took a mid 80s FB an easy 400' to LCF that could have easily found a windshield had it not hit the top of the 30' net.

Josh Hollifield (2016, SS/3B, Weddington, NC) showed in game power with laser HR to left field. Hollifield has a large frame and strong build. The ball jumps off Hollifield's bat and he could be a mainstay in the VMI lineup for years to come.
