Duke baseball player MJ Metz had himself a day on Friday as the Blue Devils took on the UNC Wilmington Seahawks in the college baseball regionals. 

Metz hit three home runs on Friday as Duke defeated UNCW, 12-3, and he did so with a torn ACL.

Metz, who was the designated hitter on Friday, suffered the injury during last week's Atlantic Coast Conference tournament. Metz and Duke coach Chris Pollard still had not made a decision on his place in the lineup as of Thursday night, but Pollard said that Metz had "earned the right to make this decision" after a great round of batting practice on Thursday, according to The Fayetteville Observer.

"I thought that I could help the team, and that’s all I was trying to do," Metz said, per The Observer. "I told (Pollard) I wanted to give it a shot and that I’d let him know if anything changed. Just grateful for the way it all turned out."
