Kites Kitamura Sizzles with Cycle
Kinboshi's Hideyuki Kitamura accomplished what few others have done -- he hit for the cycle, collecting a single, double, triple and home run in the same game.

For the day, Kitamura finished 4-for-5 with 4 runs batted in and 2 runs scored and helped the Kites knock off the Fukuoka Falcons, 9-7, at Fukuoka Stadium.

"I didn't even know I was about to hit for the cycle until after," Kitamura told reporters following the game. "One of the guys mentioned it when I got back to the dugout."

Hideyuki Kitamura hit an RBI double in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, tripled in the 5th, hit a three-run home run off Tatsuhito Watanabe in the 6th and grounded out in the 9th.

On the year, Kitamura has hit .256 with 7 home runs, 32 RBIs and scored 35 runs.
