| Red-Hot Bat: Johnson Collects Cycle | Amos Johnson of the Baltimore Clippers touched all the bases at Patapsco Field in his team's 12-3 victory over St. Louis, hitting for the cycle.
He teed off on Pioneers 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," Johnson 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 4 at-bats, 5 runs batted in, 4 runs scored -- and a place in the record books.
Amos Johnson hit a solo-shot off Tige Bowe in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 5th, walked in the 7th and hit a two-run triple in the 8th.
Johnson is hitting .285 this season with 4 home runs, 30 RBIs and 41 runs scored. He has 84 hits in 295 at-bats. | |
