 | Sunday, July 9th, 2028: Green Shows Off, Hits for Cycle
It was a quite a day for Brandon Green at Intimidators Ballpark!
He hit for the cycle, belting out every kind of hit there is in a baseball game -- single, double, triple and a home run. The Kannapolis third baseman accomplished the rare feat during his team's 8-1 victory over the Lake Elsinore Storm.
He told BNN reporters at the postgame press conference, "I never even thought about hitting for the cycle and what do you know, I did it. The cycle really doesn't matter to me, it is the 4 hits and the win that are important. But I guess it will be nice to see my name in the record book."
Green went 4-5 in the game with 5 runs batted in and 2 runs scored.
B. Green singled in the 2nd, struck out in the 4th, hit a two-run triple in the 5th, hit an RBI double in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off C. Mitchell in the 9th.
In his season totals Green has 1 home run and a .298 batting average.

M. Miller hit an RBI single in the 1st, doubled in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit a two-run double in the 5th, flied out in the 8th and hit a three-run home run off G. Hammond in the 9th.
