You can watch baseball your entire life and never witness what transpired in Brooklyn on Thursday night. Tri-City first baseman Jesse Wierzbicki launched a two-run go-ahead homer in the top of the 11th inning as the short-season ValleyCats went on to a 4-3 win. In doing so, he became the first player in team history to hit for the cycle. (MILB.com)
