If Biola’s men’s baseball team had played their last game of the season on May 5 against The Master’s University, then senior infielder Sam Thorne would have ended his career with a bang. The 5-foot-8-inch fifth year senior from Watsonville, Calif.  kicked off the week with a perfect day at the plate as he went 3 for 3 and launched a solo bomb over the center field wall that contributed to Eagles’ 11-9 victory over the Bethesda Flames on May 4. In the same game, Thorne drove in three runs and scored three. Although the Eagles were ousted from the GSAC Tournament after two games, Thorne continued to hit, going 1-3 in each of their losses. With his domineering week at the plate, Thorne raised his batting average to .321 and earned this week’s Chimes’ Athlete of the Week.

Stats: Last 3 Games: 5-9, 1 HR, 4 RBI, 3 Runs

About the Contributor
Kyle Kohner, Copy Editor & Office Manager
Amid his final year with the Chimes, Kyle is a four-year vet of the publication. Before this year, Kyle began his tenure like most at the Chimes—as a freelancer and an apprentice. He’s also held positions as the online editor and the A&E staff writer in the past. He also demands that you all go watch the movie “Hereditary.” Hello there! My name is Kyle Kohner, born and raised in San Bernardino, California. I am a senior journalism student at Biola University and a self-proclaimed film buff and music addict. A movie and music critic by trade, I am a firm believer that watching film and listening to music go hand-in-hand. Because the two mediums make the world go round and humanity sane, I see it is as my job and passion to discern the good from the bad within the differing yet kindred realms of entertainment. Aside from passion for the arts, it is probably worth noting that I am the Chimes’ office manager and copy editor. I, alongside Victoria try to make sure that the content produced by this publication are without flaws. If you see an article containing the wrong usage of “they’re” or “Its,” it’s probably my fault. Outside of the Chimes, I can be seen—you guessed it—listening to music and watching movies. But I also have a deep passion for street photography.
