 | Ziegler Collects Cycle Wednesday, June 26th , 1974 The Oklahoma City Warriors topped the New Orleans Showboats by a score of 14-5 at Fort Wayne Grounds, but all the talk was centered on shortstop Rankin Ziegler. The Oklahoma City star hit for the cycle in a show-stealing performance, powering his club to the win. Ziegler went 4-for-5, collecting 1 single, 1 double, 1 triple and 1 home run to go along with 4 RBI and 4 runs scored. "I felt comfortable at the plate in a way I haven't felt all season," Ziegler said after the game. "It was like they were throwing beach balls at me - the ball seemed that big. And it just floated in." Rankin Ziegler doubled in the 1st, hit an RBI triple in the 2nd, hit a three-run home run off Joe Rose in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, walked in the 6th and grounded out in the 8th. Thus far this season, Ziegler is hitting .295 with 4 home runs, 24 RBIs and 46 runs scored. He has 72 hits in 244 at-bats and has played in 64 games. View Boxscore |   |
