Austin Hits for the Cycle
Wilbert Austin cracked out all four legs of the cycle at Coolray Field, but the Norfolk Tides still lost to the Gwinnett Firebirds by a final score of 10-8.

In a sensational performance, Austin had 4 hits in 5 tries with 5 runs batted in and scored 3 runs.

"It feels terrible to go 4-for-5 and lose," Austin said when asked about the big day. "But I keep reminding myself that there will be a day soon where I'll go 0-for-5 and we'll win, so everything balances out."

Wilbert Austin hit an RBI double in the 1st, hit an RBI triple in the 3rd, singled in the 5th, struck out in the 7th and hit a three-run home run off Nick Kingham in the 9th.

This year, Austin is batting .313 with 98 hits and 12 home runs. He has scored 40 times and has batted in 48 runs.
