I was, `Oh, man, Ive just got to make contact now, said Aaron Judge, about to hit in the big leagues for the first time.Just 114 seconds later, Judge rocketed a changeup that clanked off the railing above the center-field sports bar and into the netting above Monument Park, becoming just the third player to homer over the batters eye at new Yankee Stadium.Teammates had never before homered in their first major league at-bats in the same game.Now New Yorks 24-year-old newbies had done it back-to-back, in a five-pitch span of the second inning.Baby Bombers indeed!That thing was a hit a ton, an awe-struck Austin said Saturday after an 8-4 win over the Tampa Bay Rays.On a humid, 95-degree afternoon and on the same day Alex Rodriguez was officially released, the future came fast for the Yankees.And it arrived on, coincidentally, a special occasion.

Thank God hes young, because if that was me, I would be a zombie right now.Austin, who also plays corner outfield and third base, overcame testicular cancer surgery at age 17 and was a 13th-round draft pick in 2010.

After the home side cleaned up its offense, though, it crept back into the game and soon took the lead at 20-16 after a 6-0 run that was fueled by three straight hitting errors by the Gamecocks.Not ready to pack up and leave just yet, Carolina pushed back with a 7-1 run to take a late 23-21 lead and force the Bulldogs into a timeout. Legros had three more kills of her own on the key run to push her to 11 for the match, and a dump kill from Aubrey Ezell iced the big comeback win to extend the match, 25-22.

An ace from Koko Atoa-Williams and a kill off an over pass from Jacqy Angermiller helped Carolina take the 15-12 lead at the media timeout.
