Center fielder Jud Fabian is one of the greatest power hitters in Gators history. He entered Tuesday night’s matchup against South Florida with 48 career home runs, the fifth-most by a player in a UF uniform. He’s led the SEC in homers for much of this season.
Still, there were a couple of milestones he had yet to reach. He had never hit three homers in a game, and he had never hit a grand slam.
So, fittingly, he did both on the same night. Fabian homered in his first three official at bats, including that elusive grand slam in the second inning.
