| Breaking News |  | Saturday, April 22nd, 2023: Hit Parade: Miranda Gets Cycle
"How sweet it is, when the good part of the bat makes contact with the baseball." That's how José Miranda, the New York shortstop, described what happened in today's 9-0 victory over the Long Island Accents -- hitting for the cycle. In baseball, a player hits for the cycle when he hits a single, a double, a triple and a home run in the same game, though not necessarily in that order. Collecting the hits in that exact order is known as a "natural cycle," something that almost never occurs.
"I heard that sound every time I hit the ball -- it really was a special game for me." It was a game good enough for him to make a little history. He bombed Long Island pitching for 4 hits in 5 at-bats and his name will now go into the record book. Miranda also racked up 3 runs batted in and 3 runs scored in the game.
J. Miranda hit an RBI triple in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off A. Woodmansee in the 2nd, grounded out in the 4th, doubled in the 6th and singled in the 8th.
This year Miranda is batting .284 with 1 home run. |
