Brian Holberton hits for cycle on 5-for-5 day
Posted May 19, 2014
Sliding into third base, Brian Holberton was all smiles as he completed Class A Quad Cities' first cycle in nine years and the fifth in the Minor Leagues this season. Holberton finished 5-for-5 with five RBIs and two runs scored in the River Bandits' 10-3 rout of Kane County at Fifth Third Bank Ballpark. "If you hit for the cycle, it has to be a pretty good day," Holberton said.
