Benitez Big Deal in Merced: Hits for Cycle
Diego Benitez punished the Flagstaff Kachinas, leading the Marines to a win, 23-8. In doing so, Benitez hit for the cycle, tagging the Kachinas for 4 hits in 6 at-bats.

A player hitting a single, a double, a triple and a home run in the same game is one of the more unusual feats in professional baseball and typically happens only a couple times per season.

"Well, I didn't expect that to happen," the Merced shortstop said after the game. "I got some great pitches and I hit their mistakes."

Benitez also had 6 runs batted in and 2 runs scored in the game at Marines Ballpark.

Diego Benitez hit a two-run double in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, flied out in the 5th, flied out in the 7th, hit an RBI triple in the 8th and hit a three-run home run off Payton Graham in the 8th.

This year, Benitez is batting .261 with 4 home runs.
