<Indianapolis:team#16>'s <Juan Ortíz:player#4749> went 4-for-5 in today's game and hit for the cycle, collecting all four types of hits and 5 RBIs. But his effort could not overcome the <Colorado Springs Avalanche:team#14>, who won the game 14-11.

"I didn't really think about it at the time, although after the third hit, it snuck into my mind," <Ortíz:player#4749> told reporters.
