Victorian Jarrod Belbin made history on his college team after a huge win on Monday morning.
The infielder etched his name into the Campbell Fighting Camels’ baseball record book after tying the program’s single-game RBI record. Belbin drove in 10 runs in a 36-4 win over Presbyterian Blue Hose at Jim Perry Stadium.
Belbin crushed two grand slams to match Henry Rochelle’s 1985 record of 10 RBIs in a game for the Fighting Camels.
He finished with 13 total bases – ranked second in school history – after going 4-for-7 with three homers.
Belbin scored five runs and walked once after striking out in his first two plate appearances.
The Greensborough Burras and Preston Pirates product launched a solo shot to make it 15-2 in the bottom of the sixth.
His grand slam to centre took the score to 21-2 in the seventh, followed by another slam in the eighth after singling and going on to score earlier in the inning.
The Fighting Camels’ 36 runs were second most in program history, as was their 32-run winning margin. They went deep 10 times, with Belbin lifting his batting average to .274 following the big performance.
He joined Campbell this season from Arizona Western College.
Belbin led the Matadors with 57 hits in 2020/21. He averaged .339 with nine doubles, three triples, four homers, and 31 RBI. He also stole 30 bases on 34 chances.
Belbin played 52 MLB Draft League games with Mahoning Valley Scrappers after the college season last year, averaging .266 with 12 doubles, a triple, two homers, and 28 RBI.
