Ferreira Big Deal in Asuncion: Hits for Cycle Monday, August 1st , 2061 Getting 4 hits in a game is no easy feat, but doing it to hit for the cycle is even more rare. Luciano Ferreira of the Asuncion Banditos pulled it off at Ballpark of Beirut AA, going 4-for-5 against the Lima Reyes. His batting escapades sparked the Banditos to a win, 5-2. Ferreira tallied 1 run and drove in 4 during the game. Hitting for the cycle is particularly rare because of the different skills required - enough power for a home run, enough speed for a triple and enough patience at the plate to see at least four hittable balls. "It just happened," Ferreira said to reporters after the win. "Must have been fate or something, I wasn't expecting it. Heck, I wasn't even really trying for it." Luciano Ferreira flied out in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI triple in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Jesús Castro in the 7th and hit an RBI double in the 9th. Ferreira is hitting .259 so far this season with 31 RBIs and 37 runs scored. He has 64 hits including 7 home runs, 38 walks and .359 OBP. View Boxscore View Game Log |
