Hit Parade: Murakami Gets Cycle Tuesday, August 30th , 2061 Requiring speed, power, and regular contact, the cycle is often seen as a test of a complete hitter. For Yataro Murakami, consider that test passed. The 20-year-old right fielder hit for the cycle at Trash Panda Field, to help the Watford City Trash Pandas triumph, 9-6, over the Surprise Shockers. All told, Murakami delivered 4 hits in 5 at-bats with 4 RBI and 2 runs scored. "It feels good of course, but I'm not going to kid anyone -- there's a lot of luck in hitting for the cycle," he said after the game. "Several unique things have to come together all in the same game." Yataro Murakami singled in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, hit an RBI double in the 5th, hit a two-run triple in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Craig Jacobs in the 8th. This year, Murakami is hitting .261 with 6 home runs and 15 RBIs in 44 games played. He also boasts an OBP of .361 with 22 walks and 27 runs scored. View Boxscore View Game Log |
