Un-four-gettable: Joseph Hits for Cycle Monday, October 23rd , 2045 Aaron Joseph was jubilant as the San Diego (APP) Padres left the field with a 19-10 win over the Ogden Raptors today. He had every right to be. The 22-year-old left fielder hit for the cycle at Lindquist Field, had a 5-for-7 game and chalked up 5 RBI and 5 runs to boot. "It's too bad I can't do that every day," Joseph said with a smile to reporters after the game. "It would do wonders for my batting average." San Diego (APP) manager Robert deGolian was "proud" of the left fielder's feat, but was not expecting it to happen. "Cycles are tough because triples are tough," the skipper said. "As soon as the ball left the bat on that triple, guys were jumping off the bench for him. Honestly, I wasn't sure he was going to be able to leg it out." Aaron Joseph hit a solo-shot off Gary Salazar in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 2nd, hit a two-run single in the 3rd, tripled in the 5th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, flied out in the 7th and flied out in the 8th. This year Joseph is hitting .355 with 14 home runs and 137 RBIs to his credit. He has gotten on base at a .459 clip and scored 163 runs. |
