University of Michigan infielder Mitch Voit apologized for celebrating a three-run triple by pretending to snort cocaine during Sunday's 11-0 win over the University of Southern California in Ann Arbor.
"I would like to apologize for my actions on third base yesterday," the apology reads, as reported by CBS Sports. "I made an immature decision in the heat of the moment. The gesture I made does not reflect my character, the household I was raised in, or the block M that I represent in any kind of way. I take full responsibility for what I did, and I am truly sorry to all those who I have negatively impacted by doing this."

Voit, a junior, hit a bases-clearing triple to put the Wolverines ahead 5-0 in the second inning. He slid into third base headfirst, then imitated snorting the chalk of the third base line in a manner similar to how one would snort a line of cocaine.
A converted pitcher, Voit leads Michigan in every major offensive category this season, hitting .451 with five home runs and 28 runs batted in. He went 3 for 3 with a walk, three runs and four RBI against the Trojans on Sunday and was named Big Ten Player of the Week, CBS Sports reported.
