Nelson Swings for the Cycle
Frank Nelson truly did it all at Calfee Park today.

The Bluefield Blue Jays right fielder hit for the cycle -- collecting 1 single, 1 double, 1 triple and 1 home run -- as he paced his club to victory, 16-0 over the Pulaski Yankees.

"You know that sweet sound you hear when you hit the ball just right? I heard that every time today," Nelson said later. "It was a heck of a feeling."

It was a game good enough for him to make a little history. He bombed Pulaski pitching for 4 hits in 5 at-bats and his name will now go into the record books. Nelson also racked up 2 RBI and 5 runs scored in the game.

Frank Nelson singled in the 1st, walked in the 3rd, tripled in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Matt Cusatis in the 6th, grounded out in the 7th and doubled in the 9th.

On the year Nelson is hitting .500 with 15 hits, 6 home runs, 13 RBIs, .615 OBP and has scored 18 runs.
