MACOMB, Ill.- Liam Bushey made history on Saturday afternoon, launching his 13th home run of the season to set a new Western Illinois University single-season program record during the Leathernecks' game against UT Martin.

Bushey's record-breaking homer moved him past Corny Stanley, who first set the program's single-season home run mark with 12 in 1991. That record was later matched by Ryan Langdon (2000), Sean Munger (2001), and Joe Rooney (2002), before Bushey broke the tie and moved into the top spot.

The milestone adds another standout achievement to Bushey's breakout season, as he now stands alone atop one of the most prestigious offensive categories in program history.

With the season still ongoing, Bushey will have the opportunity to continue adding to his new record as the Leathernecks push toward the final stretch of the year.
