Senior capitalizing on last shot

Related Topics: Home run

Senior utility player Caylee Cook rounds third after her solo home run, her first since 2014, during SIU's 8-6 win against Eastern Illinois on March 5 at Charlotte West Stadium.

"I feel like I've wasted three years kind of halfway doing everything," she said. "This is it, I might as well go all in because it's all I've got left. Why waste that?"

Cook has already tied her three-year totals with two home runs and 10 RBIs this season and has one more double, four, than she did before this season. The senior has 24 total bases entering play on Sunday, one shy of her totals for the last three seasons.
