Fruit Hittin' on All Cylinders Wednesday, September 21st , 2044 Getting 5 hits in a game is no easy feat, but doing it to hit for the cycle is even more rare. Chris Fruit of the Madison Brewers pulled it off today at Area 51, going 5-for-6 against the Roswell Invaders. His batting escapades sparked the Brewers to a 20-1 victory. Fruit tallied 2 runs and drove in 5 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," Fruit 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." Chris Fruit struck out in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, walked in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off Henry Torres in the 7th, tripled in the 8th and hit a three-run double in the 8th. This year Fruit is batting .312 with 8 home runs. |
