BOCA RATON, Fla. — Florida Atlantic’s Caleb Pendleton hit grand slams in his first two collegiate plate appearances Saturday night, both in the same inning.
Playing in his first game, the freshman connected with the bases loaded twice during a 12-run second inning against Central Florida.
No he didn’t. HE DID.
