Norfolk State University's Justin Journette Posts Triple Crown Season

The Norfolk State University Spartans baseball team finished their 2025 regular season on Saturday, May 17th with Senior Day at Marty Miller Field, Norfolk. I was lucky enough to attend several games this season at Marty Miller Field and cheer on the Spartans as they played competitive baseball in the Northeast Conference. The Spartans have a talented roster, great fans, play on an amazing field, and were an absolutely awesome experience every time I visited Marty Miller.

Of all the players I went to see play at NSU this season, one very talented player stood out amongst his peers and teammates - OF, #2, Justin Journette. With all due respect to his Spartan teammates, Journette's presence at the plate was must see fan watching every single at bat. In fact, every game I attended, Journette put on an offensive display of power - hitting towering home runs, crushing line drives into the gaps of the outfield, and driving in runners on a consistent basis. His season stats were very impressive to say the least:

• Batting average - .331
• Hits - 55
• Home Runs - 15
• RBI's - 45
• Stolen bases - 5
• bold denotes team leader

Journette led the NSU Spartans baseball club in nearly every offensive category except for hits and stolen bases. A triple crown season for 2025, leading the Spartans in batting average, home runs, and runs batted in. Wow what a year for #2. And to pile on a bit on Justin's 2025 season, he surpassed the all time home run record at Norfolk State University, a record that stood for nearly 4 decades. Here is local WAVY-10 with the story and video highlights - Journette New HR King.

Huge congratulations to Norfolk State University's #2, Right Fielder Justin Journette. A historic season for the Junior OF from Richmond, VA. I can't wait to see what the future holds for this immensely talented player from Norfolk State University. Great season, 2!!!
