 | O'Malley Cracks 3 HR for Thunder Cats Saturday, April 8th , 2045 Phil O'Malley must believe in the Big Bang theory. He proved it by banging three deep against the Indianapolis College Pump Jacks. The hard-hitting San Miguelito College Thunder Cats catcher added a lot of firepower and excitement to the 14-12 Thunder Cats win, leaving fans and the opposing dugout buzzing about his standout performance. "He looked real good today," Indianapolis College manager said later. "I think the guys were awful impressed by him. Frustrated, but impressed." For the game, O'Malley had 3 hits in 6 at-bats, drove in 9, and scored 3 runs. The 20-year-old is known in league circles as a tireless worker, and told reporters he has recently been putting in extra time fine-tuning his swing, "to keep it short, compact and simple." "Looks like it worked today," he said.
