| Breaking News |  | Saturday, July 8th, 2017: Hit Parade, Horace Gets Cycle
Philadelphia's Jamison Horace accomplished what few others have been able to do -- he hit for the cycle.
In baseball, a player hits for the cycle when he hits a single, a double, a triple and a home run in the same game, though not necessarily in that order. Collecting the hits in that order is known as a "natural cycle".
For the day he finished up 4-4 with 6 runs batted in and 4 runs scored and helped his Quakers knock off the Houston Bayou Rats 17-4 at Myers Field.
In the SION postgame press conference he said, "I didn't even know I had hit for the cycle until the reporters told me after the game."
J. Horace walked in the 1st, hit an RBI triple in the 3rd, doubled in the 5th, hit a three-run home run off J. York in the 5th, walked in the 7th and hit a two-run single in the 8th.
Thus far this year Horace is batting .316 with 16 home runs, 56 RBIs and 67 runs scored.

"It was kinda freaky. Hopefully, I'll be back in the lineup soon," said a dejected Miguel Bustamante after injuring himself in a game against Cleveland. The Philadelphia manager told SION reporters, "He will miss up to 1-2 weeks with a concussion."
