SANTA CLARA, Calif. – Preseason All-West Coast Conference selection Jake Brodt blasted two grand slams in the seventh inning to power the Broncos past Boston College, 20-9, and help head coach Rusty Filter earn his first Santa Clara win.
Brodt is just the seventh Division I player to hit two grand slams in one inning since the official NCAA Division I baseball records began keeping track in 1957. He is the first to record the feat since T.J. Soto of Louisiana Tech did it against Western Kentucky in 2000.
Brodt's first grand slam came with Santa Clara trailing 9-7 and gave the Broncos the go ahead runs.
