Baylor first baseman Tyce Armstrong made history on Friday night, crushing three grand slams in the Bears' 15-2 season-opening win over New Mexico State. Armstrong recorded 12 RBIs in the game, becoming just the second college baseball player to ever hit a trio of grand slams in the same game and the first since 1976.

Why it matters

Armstrong's performance is incredibly rare, even at the highest levels of baseball. No Major League Baseball player has ever connected on three grand slams in one game, and only thirteen players have hit two in a game. This feat cements Armstrong's place in the college baseball record books and shows the power he brings to the Baylor lineup.

The details

In the Bears' season opener, Armstrong hit grand slams in the first, third, and fifth innings, leading Baylor to a dominant 15-2 victory over New Mexico State. The last player to accomplish this in college baseball was Louisville's Jim LaFountain, who did it in the second game of a doubleheader 50 years ago in 1976.
