SCU Baseball Hosts Shave For Change
on Saturday, April 21
|
Enjoy your hair while you can because the Broncos are hosting their "BaseBald" head-shaving event in support of the St. Baldrick's Foundation on Saturday, April 21 after the game against Pepperdine.
Even though the team has already raised $6,300 - more than two-thirds of the $7,500 it is looking to bring in for St. Baldrick's - the event is about more than just money. The Broncos want to bring awareness to the public about children with cancer and show their support for the kids that are fighting every day.
"For our guys to be this excited to shave their heads for a good cause says everything you need to know about them as a group," said O'Brien. "We're honored to be associated with St. Baldrick's for such a worthy event and to do what we can for children fighting this disease."

Catching Up with Sophomore Zach Looney
 | | Zach Looney has an On Base Percentage of .389 in 46 At Bats |
RD BASEBALL: What draws you to baseball? What makes it appealing to you? What is special about the college game?
LOONEY: "It truly challenges you as a whole person. You cannot get by in the game if you are not a complete athlete having both mental and physical strength. Rather than relying only on talent, baseball forces you to explore every aspect of the type of person you are. I think it is amazing because someone who does not have talent can succeed if they have the right amount of mental strength. The college game is special because you can see the feeling of family and passion for the game anytime you watch a college baseball game. I don't feel the sense of team first in professional baseball like I do when around college baseball."
