Thursday, March 28th , 2024
Justin Krystofiak went yard three times in a Alabama Crimson Tide victory over the Florida Gators at Sewell-Thomas Stadium.
"I was in a groove," he said. "Every pitch they tossed up there looked like a grapefruit."
For the day, the Alabama catcher went 3-for-4 against Florida with 7 RBIs and 3 runs scored in a brilliant display of power hitting that led the Crimson Tide to the 11-1 win.
"I tell you what. I'm shocked because I didn't think that last ball had enough to get out," he told BNN reporters in the clubhouse following the game. "I thought it was just going to be a long out."
Justin Krystofiak flied out in the 2nd, walked in the 4th, hit a three-run home run off Justin Knittle in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Eric Wirth in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off Eric Wirth in the 8th.
Looking at his season stats, Krystofiak has compiled a .196 batting average and a .318 on-base percentage, while hitting 6 home runs and driving in 16 runs.
