Willimas Swings for the Cycle Thursday, May 14th, 1970 Jaden Willimas punished the Bloomington HS Emperors today, leading the Players to a 20-7 win. In doing so, Willimas hit for the cycle, tagging the Emperors for 5 hits in 6 at-bats. A player hitting a single, a double, a triple and a home run in the same game is one of the more unusual feats in professional baseball and typically happens only a couple times per season. "Well, I didn't expect that to happen," the Peoria HS shortstop said after the game. "I got some great pitches and I hit their mistakes." Willimas also had 4 RBI and 3 runs scored in the game at El Paso HS Grounds. Jaden Willimas doubled in the 2nd, grounded out in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, hit a three-run home run off Tim Goodrich in the 5th, hit an RBI triple in the 6th and singled in the 7th.
