Galván Clips Geek Squad for Cycle Friday, January 25th , 2058 It was a special day for Eduardo Galván at Phoenix Ballpark -- the Staples Staples shortstop hit for the cycle, getting every type of hit possible. The 19-year-old Galván racked up 1 single, 1 double, 1 triple and 1 home run to get his name in the history books. It was all for naught, however, as the Staples didn't win the ballgame, dropping the decision to the Best Buy Geek Squad, 9-4. "He hit everything we threw," said Best Buy manager Mike Stay. "There was just no getting him out today." For the game, he was 4-for-5 with 3 RBI and 2 runs scored. "I'm glad for Eduardo," Staples manager Yoo-ngan Ang said. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime thing and a nice feather in his cap. Would've been better if we could have won the game for him, too." Speaking to the press after the game, Galván said the key for his record-setting day was "just getting some good pitches to hit." Eduardo Galván tripled in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Manny Torres in the 3rd, flied out in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit a two-run double in the 9th. Galván is presently hitting at a .275 pace with 1 home run and 12 RBIs. He has played in 24 games and scored 18 times. View Boxscore View Game Log |
