McCall Swings for the Cycle Sunday, June 21st , 2026 Joey McCall was jubilant as the Brooklyn Atlantics left the field with a win, 8-7, over the Providence Grays. He had every right to be. The 22-year-old second baseman hit for the cycle at Providence Field, had a 4-for-8 game and added 2 runs batted in and 2 runs to boot. "It's too bad I can't do that every day," McCall said with a smile to reporters after the game. "It would do wonders for my batting average." Brooklyn manager Greg Claussen was "proud" of the second baseman's feat, but was not expecting it to happen. "Cycles are tough because triples are tough," the skipper said. "As soon as the ball left the bat on that triple, guys were jumping off the bench for him. Honestly, I wasn't sure he was going to be able to leg it out." Joey McCall hit a solo-shot off Corentin Véron in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, flied out in the 5th, doubled in the 8th, grounded out in the 9th, struck out in the 11th, struck out in the 14th and hit an RBI triple in the 15th. This season in 64 games, McCall has hit at a .343 clip with 86 hits, 10 home runs, 36 RBIs and 39 runs scored. View Boxscore |
