Red-Hot Bat: Norris Collects Cycle
<Jimmy Norris:player#404> really put the hurt on the <Idaho Steelheads:team#92> today, leading the Explorers to a 13-2 win. He tagged them for 4 hits in 5 at-bats and hit for the cycle. <Norris:player#404> also had 6 RBI and 3 runs scored in the game at Multnomah Stadium. Hitting for the cycle is one of the most unusual feats in baseball at any level. The odds are near astronomical against a player hitting a single, a double, a triple and a home run in the same game.

The <Oregon:team#75> left fielder said after the game, "I got some great pitches to hit... all 4 times the pitches didn't go where the pitcher wanted them to go. I hit their mistakes. Hitting for the cycle was great, but winning the game and helping my team is far more important. Individual accomplishments are fine, but I want to win, too."

<Jimmy Norris:player#404> walked in the 1st, hit a two-run single in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, hit a two-run triple in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off <Bernardo Pulla:player#223> in the 6th and flied out in the 8th.

So far this year <Norris:player#404> has 8 home runs and a .239 batting average.
