Patenaude Touches All Bases, Hits for Cycle
Toby Patenaude was jubilant as the Bluefield Blue Jays left the field with a 14-3 win over the Detroit (APP) Tigers today. He had every right to be.

The 21-year-old second baseman hit for the cycle at Detroit Tigers Complex, had a 4-for-5 game and chalked up 3 runs batted in and 4 runs to boot.

"It's too bad I can't do that every day," Patenaude said with a smile to reporters after the game. "It would do wonders for my batting average."

Bluefield manager Timo Lantinga was "proud" of the second baseman'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."

Toby Patenaude hit an RBI triple in the 1st, walked in the 3rd, flied out in the 3rd, singled in the 6th, hit an RBI double in the 7th and hit a solo-shot off Malcolm Holz in the 9th.

This season Patenaude is batting .403 with 25 hits and 9 home runs. He has scored 17 times and has 21 RBI.
