Gladiators Marrero Sizzles with Cycle
The Rome Gladiators lost, 12-9, to the Pikeville Polecats at Gladiators Ballpark, and none took the loss harder than Wendell Marrero, who saw a sensational game -- in which he hit for the cycle -- wasted.

"It feels really, really bad," he said later. "You feel like you deserve the win with a day like that."

The right fielder ripped Pikeville pitching for 4 hits in 4 at-bats and tallied 3 runs batted in. Marrero also scored 1 run on his remarkable day.

Wendell Marrero doubled in the 2nd, hit an RBI triple in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Cam Walty in the 6th, walked in the 7th and singled in the 8th.

A look at his season totals shows Marrero with 2 home runs, .400 BA, .537 OBP, 10 RBIs and 10 runs scored.
