Morales Touches All the Bases, Hits for Cycle
In an outing that will go down in the annals of league history, Minnesota (DSL) center fielder Juan Morales hit for the cycle, as the Twins marched to victory over the Houston (DSL) Astros Blue, 13-7.

Morales collected 4 hits in 5 at-bats, including 1 single, 1 double, 1 triple and 1 home run. He added 2 RBI and 3 runs scored to help Minnesota (DSL) take the Minnesota Twins Academy contest.

"It was the last thing on my mind, really," Morales said. "I'm out there trying to get a blooper or a walk or whatever might help the team. Even if I had wanted to, hitting for the cycle is probably as much about luck as about skill anyway."

Juan Morales tripled in the 2nd, singled in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Juan Ybarra in the 3rd, struck out in the 5th and hit an RBI double in the 8th.

Morales on the season is hitting .630 with 1 home run. His stats include 11 RBIs and 9 runs scored.
