Texas A&M-Corpus Christi outfielder Tre Jones III lit up the crowd at Chapman Field in Corpus Christi on Saturday afternoon when he performed a rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” on Senior Day.
Jones performed the national anthem with an electric guitar and had a little solo at the end of his performance to cap it off. He received a giant round of applause when he finished. He followed the musical number up with a 3-for-4 day at the plate, but his Islanders team lost to Incarnate Word, 5-1.
