| Breaking News |  | Monday, June 15th, 1998: Ridin' High: Camp Hits for Cycle
Victoria's Dwayne Camp accomplished what few others have been able to do -- he hit for the cycle. In baseball, a player hits for the cycle when he hits a single, a double, a triple and a home run in the same game, though not necessarily in that order. Collecting the hits in that order is known as a "natural cycle."
For the day he finished 4-4 with 4 runs batted in and 3 runs scored and helped his Monarchs knock off the Union Bridge Owls 7-0 at Choppers Stadium. In the postgame press conference he said, "I didn't even know I had hit for the cycle until after the game."
D. Camp walked in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 3rd, hit a two-run single in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off E. Jones in the 7th and tripled in the 9th.
In his stats this season, Camp has posted a batting average of .208 with 53 hits in 255 at-bats, 4 home runs and 32 RBIs. He has also scored 37 runs, walked 35 times and compiled a .319 OBP.
