Fletcher on a Tear, Hits for Cycle Tuesday, April 18th , 2023 Orange Lutheran High School Lancers right fielder Michael Fletcher hit for the cycle at Windermere Baseball Complex, but his good feeling turned sour when the Windermere High School Wolverines went home victors by a score of 12-11. Fletcher accomplished the rare feat, chalking up 5 hits -- 1 single, 2 doubles, 1 triple and 1 home run -- on his way to finishing 5-for-5 with 3 runs batted in and 2 runs. He told reporters in the postgame press conference that he did not know what he had achieved until he was informed by the Orange Lutheran High School PR staff following the game. "As long as the game is going, it's hard for me to think about anything but what is on the field," he said. "It's a nice accomplishment, I guess. I wish it had been under better circumstances." Michael Fletcher doubled in the 2nd, doubled in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Darius Oliver in the 5th, tripled in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 8th. This season, Fletcher has banged out 29 hits in 90 at-bats for a .322 average with 6 home runs. He is getting on base at a .344 pace and his totals also include 16 RBIs and 17 runs scored. |
