Garcia Collects Cycle Wednesday, April 28th , 2049 Getting 4 hits in a game is no easy feat, but doing it to hit for the cycle is even more rare. Ivan Garcia of the San Jose Sabercats pulled it off at Defenders Ballpark, going 4-for-6 against the Hartford Defenders. His batting escapades sparked the Sabercats to a win, 18-2. Garcia tallied 3 runs and drove in 6 during the game. Hitting for the cycle is particularly rare because of the different skills required - enough power for a home run, enough speed for a triple and enough patience at the plate to see at least four hittable balls. "It just happened," Garcia said to reporters after the win. "Must have been fate or something, I wasn't expecting it. Heck, I wasn't even really trying for it." Ivan Garcia hit a two-run home run off Dave Akam in the 1st, hit a three-run double in the 2nd, hit an RBI triple in the 4th, grounded out in the 4th, flied out in the 6th and singled in the 8th. Garcia is currently hitting at a .305 pace with 1 home run and 7 RBIs. He has played in 15 games and scored 6 times. View Boxscore |
