Un-four-gettable: Jones Hits for Cycle
Getting 4 hits is a good day by any measure, but when those include a single, double, triple and a home run -- that's something special. Brandon Jones's day was a special one.

The left fielder hit for the cycle to spark the GCL Orioles to a 12-8 victory over the GCL Expos at Twin Lakes Park today. GCL manager Joe H Coleman said he thought the whole lineup looked good in batting practice, but had not been expecting anything extraordinary from Jones in particular.

"Brandon caught me by surprise today," the skipper said. "He looked good before the game, but man, he looked unbelievable during it."

For the day, Jones finished with 4 RBI and 4 runs scored to go with his 4 hits.

Brandon Jones hit an RBI single in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off Val Mencas in the 3rd, hit an RBI triple in the 5th, doubled in the 7th and walked in the 8th.

This season Jones is swinging the bat at a .327 pace. He has hit 5 home runs and scored 14 times, while driving in 15. His on-base percentage is .462 and he has played in 16 games.
