Toros CF Rigsby Gets the Cycle Wednesday, July 19th , 2056 Blair Rigsby of the Tijuana Toros touched all the bases today at The Igloo in the 13-1 victory over Ellesmere Island, hitting for the cycle. He teed off on Snowpeople pitching, collecting 1 single, 1 double, 1 triple and 1 home run. The feat is rare in baseball as it requires a game of no fewer than four hits and the unusual combination of a home run, which requires a batter to hit for some power -- and a triple, which requires a batter to have both speed and a favorable fall of the ball. "The hardest part was the triple," Rigsby confessed after the game. "A lot has to go right. It's real easy to get greedy trying to stretch a double and get thrown out. It's really hard to get a three-bagger." He finished the big day with 4 hits in 5 at-bats, 4 RBI, 2 runs scored -- and a place in the record books. Blair Rigsby hit a two-run triple in the 1st, hit an RBI single in the 3rd, struck out in the 4th, doubled in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Roberto Gonzáles in the 8th. On the year Rigsby has hit .412 with 2 home runs, 5 RBIs and scored 5 runs. View Boxscore View Game Log |
