 | Sunday, August 13th, 1950: Luna Goes Cycling Gabriel Luna really put the hurt on the Worcester Whalers today, leading the Lords to a 14-1 win. He tagged them for 4 hits in 6 at-bats and hit for the cycle. Luna also had 5 RBI and 1 run scored in the game at Harbor Yard. Hitting for the cycle is one of the most unique feats in baseball at any level. The odds are near astronomical against a player hitting a single, a double, a triple and a home run in the same game. The Baltimore right fielder spoke with SION reporters after the game telling them, "I got some great pitches to hit . . . all 4 times the pitches didn't go where the pitcher wanted them to go. I hit their mistakes. Hitting for the cycle was great, but winning the game and helping my team is far more important. Individual accomplishments are fine, but I want to win, too. I'm a greedy ballplayer." G. Luna hit a solo-shot off D. James in the 2nd, struck out in the 2nd, hit a two-run triple in the 4th, grounded out in the 5th, hit an RBI double in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th. Luna is hitting at a .327 mark this season. His stats show 32 home runs, 127 RBIs and 98 runs scored. He has played 116 games for the Lords. |
