Big Day for Martin: Swats 5 Hits Thursday, April 17th, 2025 It was a hits blitz for Travis Martin at Duane Banks Field. The Iowa Hawkeyes second baseman tore into Georgia Tech for 5 hits in 5 at-bats to pace the Hawkeyes to a 8-7 victory and to put up a career day. The manager for the Yellow Jackets bemoaned his pitching, saying, "We fell behind and weren't locating well. Once you get behind in the count, you have to make real good pitches, rather than good pitches, and we weren't able to do that today." He added, "Not to take anything away from Martin, but bad location was the story of the ballgame. That's why we lost the game." Travis Martin hit a solo-shot off Carlos Madraso in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, singled in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th. This year Martin is batting .327 with 2 home runs. |
