| Breaking News |  | Saturday, September 20th, 1980: Un-four-gettable: Troiano Hits for Cycle
South Beach's Dallas Troiano 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 4-5 with 1 RBI and 3 runs scored and helped his Sunburn knock off the Homer Yetis 9-1 at Bayfront Park. In the postgame press conference he said, "I didn't even know I had hit for the cycle until after the game."
D. Troiano singled in the 2nd, tripled in the 3rd, grounded out in the 5th, hit a solo-shot off T. Reese in the 7th and doubled in the 8th.
Currently Troiano has 48 home runs and a .301 batting average.
