Patton Touches All the Bases, Hits for Cycle Monday, July 13th , 2048 It is rare for players to collect a single, double, triple and home run in one game, so it's a special moment when it happens. Buddy Patton savored such a moment today, going 4-for-7 and hitting for the cycle against the Sioux Falls Red Pandas. Unfortunately for Patton, that was all he could savor, as his Syracuse Starks lost the contest by a score of 10-9. After the game, the first baseman was in no mood to talk about the hitting feat, calling it "pointless trivia." "Nobody cares if I went 0-for-7 or 1-for-7 or 4-for-7," Patton said. "10-9. That's the only line anyone around here cares about today." Buddy Patton hit a three-run home run off Ramon Wuilink in the 1st, grounded out in the 4th, tripled in the 6th, flied out in the 8th, hit a two-run single in the 9th, struck out in the 11th, walked in the 13th and doubled in the 15th. In the current season, Patton has put up a .267 batting average with 28 hits, 5 home runs, 18 RBI and scored 20 runs. View Boxscore View Game Log |
