Kirknes on a Rampage, Hits for Cycle Monday, May 17th , 2049 Candradipa Kirknes of the Babylon Five Rangers touched all the bases today at Ballpark of Babylon Five in the 13-2 victory over WeMadeIt, hitting for the cycle. He teed off on Crashlanders 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," Kirknes 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, 5 RBI, 3 runs scored -- and a place in the record books. Candradipa Kirknes hit an RBI triple in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 2nd, struck out in the 4th, hit an RBI single in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Geoff Morimoto in the 7th and hit a sac fly in the 8th. Kirknes on the season is batting .247 with 3 home runs. His totals include 12 RBIs and 15 runs scored. He has played in 26 games. View Boxscore View Game Log Watch Highlights |
