WACO, Texas (AP) \u2014 Tyce Armstrong hit three grand slams<\/a> in his Baylor debut Friday night in the Bears\u2019 15-2 season-opening victory over New Mexico State, just the second college baseball player to ever accomplish that feat.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m speechless,\u201d Armstrong said. \u201cIt\u2019s the coolest thing I\u2019ve ever been a part of.\u201d<\/p>\n

He joins Louisville\u2019s Jim LaFountain as the only players with that distinction. LaFountain hit two of his three grand slams in the same inning on March 24, 1976, in the second game of a doubleheader against Western Kentucky. He also hit a two-run home run in the 26-4 victory that was called in the fifth inning.<\/p>\n

No Major League Baseball player has ever hit three grand slams in one game. Thirteen players have had two in a game.<\/p>\n

Armstrong, a senior first baseman, transferred from Texas-Arlington, where he had 17 homers and 87 RBIs over three seasons.<\/p>\n

Against New Mexico State, he went 3 or 4 with 12 RBIs.<\/p>\n

Armstrong hit all three homers to left field \u2014 a 401-foot shot in the third inning, a 407-foot blast in the fourth and a 386-foot homer in the seventh.<\/p>\n
