Smith Big Deal in Tacoma: Hits for Cycle
Chris Smith was jubilant as the Tacoma Rainiers left the field with a win, 11-7, over the Salt Lake Bees. He had every right to be.

The 26-year-old catcher hit for the cycle at Cheney Stadium, had a 4-for-4 game and added 5 RBI and 3 runs to boot.

"It's too bad I can't do that every day," Smith said with a smile to reporters after the game. "It would do wonders for my batting average."

Tacoma manager Reggie Taylor was "proud" of the catcher's feat, but was not expecting it to happen.

"Cycles are tough because triples are tough," the skipper said. "As soon as the ball left the bat on that triple, guys were jumping off the bench for him. Honestly, I wasn't sure he was going to be able to leg it out."

Chris Smith hit an RBI single in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, walked in the 6th, hit a three-run home run off Nick Bitsko in the 7th and hit an RBI triple in the 8th.

Smith is batting .262 with 13 home runs and 38 RBIs this season.
