Howard Touches All Bases, Hits for Cycle Saturday, May 30th, 2037 Requiring speed, power and regular contact, the cycle is often seen as a test of a complete hitter. For Mike Howard, consider that test passed. The 28-year-old center fielder hit for the cycle at Sacramento Sanitation Station today to lead the Houston BC to a 6-3 win over the Sacramento Redlegs. All told, Howard delivered 4 hits in 5 at-bats with 2 runs batted in and 3 runs scored. "It feels good of course, but I'm not going to kid anyone -- there's a lot of luck in hitting for the cycle," he said after the game. "Several unique things have to come together all in the same game." Mike Howard singled in the 1st, doubled in the 3rd, hit an RBI triple in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Luis González in the 7th and grounded out in the 9th. Hitting .237 to date, Howard has 1 home run and 7 RBIs. He has played in 23 games. View Boxscore View Game Log |
