With the bases loaded on a one ball, two strike count, Central Michigan junior Griffin Lockwood-Powell took a swing at his fourth curveball of the at-bat.
The result – a grand slam.
“It felt good off the bat,” Lockwood-Powell said. “It was fun to see all my teammates congratulating me.”
The 6-foot-2, 195-pound catcher, who sat out the 2017 season, has played in 23 games. Lockwood-Powell has a “nagging” injury, which has prevented him from being on the field every day. Currently, he is batting .329 with two home runs and 16 RBI.
“I just keep it simple and don’t try to do too much,” Lockwood-Powell said.
