Ridin' High: Gaines Hits for Cycle
<North Carolina Aviators:team#8> right fielder <Charlie Gaines:player#6475> hit for the cycle today at Lowe's Field at Bojangles' Stadium but his great game was soured as the <Washington Resonance:team#91> went home victors by a score of 7-3.

Gaines accomplished the rare feat, chalking up 5 hits -- 2 singles, 1 double, 1 triple and 1 home run -- on his way to finishing 5-for-5 with  2 runs batted in and 2 runs. He told reporters in the postgame press conference that he did not know what he had achieved until he was informed by the North Carolina PR staff following the game.

"As long as the game is going, it's hard for me to think about anything but what is on the field," he said. "It's a nice accomplishment, I guess. I wish it had been under better circumstances."

<Charlie Gaines:player#6475> doubled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off <Randy Johnson:player#3618> in the 5th, hit an RBI triple in the 7th and singled in the 9th.
