Griffin Rips 3 HR Sunday, March 21st, 2021 Fans seated in the bleacher section at South Paris College Grounds were taking cover all day long as Noel Griffin took aim, rattling three long blasts off the seats in a display of Herculean power. Days like this are rare. After his amazing performance in LSU's 6-1 triumph over the Arizona Wildcats, the left fielder's name will soon be added into the record books. He told reporters at the postgame press conference, "I told myself not to press on the last one. I knew I couldn't force it... that it has to be a nice easy swing." For the game he collected 3 hits in 3 at-bats, batted in 5 and scored 3 runs. Noel Griffin hit a solo-shot off Jesús López in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Jesús López in the 2nd, walked in the 4th, walked in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off Clyde Jenkins in the 8th. For the season, Griffin is hitting at a .354 clip with 6 home runs, 17 RBIs and has scored 23 runs. He has 28 hits, 15 walks and a .469 on-base percentage. |
