Red-Hot Bat: Larrison Collects Cycle Sunday, June 5th, 2022 Getting 4 hits in a game is no easy feat, but hitting for the cycle is much more rare. Ray Larrison was on fire today, going 4 for 5 and hitting for the cycle against New York at Don Corleone Park. His batting escapade sparked the Brooklyn Outlaws to a 12-6 victory over the Mafia. For the day the Outlaws right fielder scored 3 runs and drove in 3. The feat is rare in baseball as it requires a game of no fewer than four hits and the unusual combination of a home run, which requires a batter to hit for some power, and a triple, which requires a batter to have both speed on the basepaths and a well-placed drive deep into the outfield. He told reporters after the game, "It just happened. Must have been fate or something... you can't plan this. I was more concerned with winning the game." Ray Larrison flied out in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Brad Lyons in the 3rd, hit an RBI triple in the 5th, doubled in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 9th. So far this season Larrison has hit .340 with 16 home runs, 57 RBIs and and scored 56 times. |
