On a Roll: Morales Hits for Cycle Saturday, July 30th, 2033 José Morales was jubilant as the Lowell Spinners left the field with a 14-7 win over the Vermont Lake Monsters today. He had every right to be. The 20-year-old center fielder hit for the cycle at Centennial Field, had a 4-for-6 game and chalked up 6 runs batted in and 2 runs to boot. "It's too bad I can't do that every day," Morales said with a smile to reporters after the game. "It would do wonders for my batting average." Lowell manager said he was "proud" of his center fielder's feat, but was not expecting it to happen. "Cycles are tough because triples are tough," he said. "As soon as the ball left the bat on that triple, guys were jumping off the bench for him. Honestly, I wasn't sure he was going to be able to leg it out." José Morales flied out in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off Ed Wooten in the 4th, struck out in the 5th, hit a three-run triple in the 7th, doubled in the 9th and hit an RBI single in the 9th. This year Morales is batting .246 with 9 home runs and 32 RBIs. View Boxscore View Game Log |
