"College Baseball Outfielder Hit by Pitch Seven Times in Doubleheader"
Sacramento State outfielder Matt Masciangelo was hit by a pitch seven times in a doubleheader against Loyola Marymount during the opening day of the 2024 NCAA Division I college baseball season. Masciangelo, who transferred from Cal State Bakersfield, found himself consistently reaching first base without swinging the bat, attributing the unusual streak to fate and the pitchers' game plan. Despite the absurdity of the situation, Masciangelo maintained a positive attitude and helped his team's chances of scoring runs.
