Martinez Collects Cycle
Sunday, April 11th , 2021
The LSU Tigers topped the Florida Gators by a score of 9-2 at Condron Ballpark, but all the talk was centered on left fielder Chris Martinez.
The LSU star hit for the cycle in a show-stealing performance, powering his club to the win. Martinez went 4-for-5, collecting 1 single, 1 double, 1 triple and 1 home run to go along with 1 RBI and 3 runs scored.
"I felt comfortable at the plate in a way I haven't felt all season," Martinez said after the game. "It was like they were throwing beach balls at me - the ball seemed that big. And it just floated in."
Chris Martinez grounded out in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Frank Robinson in the 4th, tripled in the 6th, doubled in the 8th and singled in the 9th.
So far this season, Martinez has put up a .320 batting average with 33 hits, 5 home runs and 17 RBIs.
