It was a sweet moment when Bengie Molina hit a tri to complete the cycle in the eighth ending. What made it even sweeter is the Bengie has been called (and rightly so) one of the slowest runners in the league. But that didn't stop the Ranger's catcher for hoofing it to third to get the cycle.
Not to say luck was on the big guy's side when he hit the double in the fourth off the glove of the Red Sox right fielder and a triple in the eighth off the glove of center fielder, and the triple really only would have happened at Fenway; because it is so big. Lucky or not, he pulled it off. the only opponent to hit for the cycle at Fenway Park in 22 years. and is the first catcher since Chad Moeller on April 27, 2004, to hit for the cycle.
all in all. it was a great game (Especially if you a Ranger fan, like me )
For those of you who don't know Hitting for the cycle is a baseball term when a player hits a single, a double, a triple and a home run in the same game, though not necessarily in that order. _________________
