Feagin Shows Off, Hits for Cycle Sunday, February 3rd , 2058 Jeff Feagin of the Texaco Stars touched all the bases today at Ballpark of Spokane HS in the 10-6 victory over POS Portal, hitting for the cycle. He teed off on Machines 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," Feagin 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 5 at-bats, 3 RBI, 3 runs scored -- and a place in the record books. Jeff Feagin grounded out in the 1st, doubled in the 4th, hit a two-run triple in the 5th, singled in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Orlando López in the 8th. This season Feagin is batting .302 with 38 hits, 5 home runs, 23 RBIs, 14 walks, .373 OBP and has scored 23 runs. He has played in 30 games. View Boxscore View Game Log |
