Testavallia Hittin' on All Cylinders Thursday, September 6th , 2063 Teodoro Testavallia was jubilant as the Yakima Hops left the field with a win, 3-1, over the Tacoma Fur Traders. He had every right to be. The 25-year-old center fielder hit for the cycle at Hops Park, had a 4-for-4 game and added 1 run batted in and 1 run to boot. "It's too bad I can't do that every day," Testavallia said with a smile to reporters after the game. "It would do wonders for my batting average." Yakima manager Giddy Potts was "proud" of the center 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." Teodoro Testavallia doubled in the 1st, tripled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th and hit a solo-shot off Cipriano García in the 7th. For the season, Testavallia is hitting .308, batted in 34 runs with 6 home runs and 52 runs scored. View Boxscore View Game Log |
