Un-four-gettable: Butterfield Hits for Cycle Sunday, August 13th, 2028 What do you get when you combine a good eye, some bat control, speed, and power? Well, if you add a little bit of luck and mix it all together, you get what Bobby Butterfield of the Atlanta Smoke had today at The Thunder Dome. He put together quite a performance at the plate and came away with the cycle, helping his team clip Richardson City 5-4 and give the fans a memory they will never forget. "This is the most amazing feat I've ever witnessed at a ballgame!" said a longtime Atlanta fan. "I have probably been to several hundred games in my life and I've never seen anything like it." For the day the Smoke center fielder had 4 hits in 4 at-bats with 1 RBI and 2 runs scored. Butterfield etched his name into the record books by hitting a single, a double, a triple, and a home run, all in the same game. When asked after the game how it felt to join such an exclusive group, Butterfield replied, "It just feels great to help the team get the W." Bobby Butterfield tripled in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Eduardo Díaz in the 5th, singled in the 7th and doubled in the 9th. In his 2028 season totals, Butterfield has 2 home runs, .254 BA, .303 OBP, 16 RBIs and 24 runs scored. View Boxscore View Game Log |
