Hit Parade: Maldonado Gets Cycle
It was a quite a day for Mario Maldonado at Aurora Field.

He hit for the cycle, belting out every kind of hit there is -- a single, double, triple and home run. The New York second baseman accomplished the rare feat during his team's 11-5 victory over the Iceland Aurora.

"I never even thought about hitting for the cycle and what do you know, I did it," he told BNN reporters at the postgame press conference. "The cycle really doesn't matter to me, it's the win that's important."

Maldonado went 4-for-6 in the game with 2 RBI and 4 runs scored.

Mario Maldonado tripled in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off John Hahn in the 3rd, grounded out in the 4th, doubled in the 6th, grounded out in the 8th and hit an RBI single in the 9th.

In 1953 Maldonado has hit at a .281 clip with 82 hits, 8 home runs, 30 RBIs and has scored 39 times.
