Pallard Swings for the Cycle Friday, August 4th, 2017 John Pallard produced one of the rarest feats in baseball today when he hit for the cycle against the Whitewater Eagles in the Sanford 8-3 win at Baylor Ballpark. Afterward, Pallard acknowledged that his accomplishment was special, but he was more interested in helping the Stingrays just win some ballgames. At the postgame press conference, he said, "Maybe one day I'll look back on this day with more meaning, but right now I just want to come out tomorrow and put some good swings on the ball, get a few hits and help my club win another game." On his historic day, he went 5-5 with 2 runs batted in and 3 runs scored -- and also got a spot in the league record books. Maybe one day way down the road he will get out the record book and reminisce about his extra special day in baseball. John Pallard tripled in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Kazuhiro Kouno in the 5th, doubled in the 6th and hit an RBI single in the 7th. For the year Pallard is batting .351 with 4 home runs, 18 RBIs and 15 runs scored. |
