Anna Cain continues the Cain family tradition by wearing jersey number 45. John Cain wore the number on the diamond, and once he graduated, brother Tucker decided to change to 45 followed by sister Sarah Cain-Weinburger in basketball. When the youngest Cain, Anna, arrived on campus, she, too, started wearing number 45.
