Northwestern's Liolios Breaks 37-Year Home Run Record

Several athletes across different levels of baseball and softball have recently broken significant home run records. In minor league baseball, Oklahoma City's Ryan Ward became the franchise's all-time home run leader during the Bricktown era with his 61st home run, while teammate James Outman contributed two homers and six RBI in a shutout win. At the college level, Norfolk State's Justin Journette surpassed a record that had stood since 1989 by hitting his 37th career home run, and Northwestern's Trent Liolios set a new single-season program record with his 16th home run, eclipsing a mark that lasted 37 years. In high school softball, Granada's Delaney Aumua broke the CIF North Coast Section career home run record with her 43rd, also tying the single-season section record. These achievements highlight a season of historic power hitting, with each athlete earning praise for their accomplishments and work ethic.
