Cortés Touches All the Bases, Hits for Cycle Saturday, July 18th , 2054 Getting 4 hits is a good day by any measure, but when those include a single, double, triple and a home run -- that's something special. Pedro Cortés's day was a special one. The center fielder hit for the cycle to spark the Fort Knox Centennial to a 6-1 victory over the Ogallala Octopi at Ballpark of Baxter today. Fort Knox manager Justin Saginov said he thought the whole lineup looked good in batting practice, but had not been expecting anything extraordinary from Cortés in particular. "Pedro caught me by surprise today," the skipper said. "He looked good before the game, but man, he looked unbelievable during it." For the day, Cortés finished with 1 run batted in and 1 run scored to go with his 4 hits. Pedro Cortés doubled in the 1st, tripled in the 3rd, singled in the 5th and hit a solo-shot off Ryan Lawson in the 7th. This year Cortés is hitting .270 with 12 home runs and 27 RBIs in 51 games played. He also boasts an OBP of .333 with 11 walks and 25 runs scored. View Boxscore View Game Log |
