Hits Blitz for Loons Crothers
Grant Crothers showed off his speed, his power and his plate discipline at Dow Diamond, putting together all facets of his game to hit for the cycle in the Great Lakes win.

The 24-year-old second baseman went 4-for-5, collecting 1 single, 1 double, 1 triple and 1 home run to help the Loons top the West Michigan Whitecaps by a score of 6-2. A jubilant Crothers told reporters afterward that the experience was "unimaginable."

"Seriously, I would have been happy going 1-for-5 with just the double," he said. "So this feels incredible."

For the day, Crothers finished with 2 runs batted in and 2 runs scored to go with his 4 hits.

Grant Crothers doubled in the 1st, hit a two-run home run off John Brennan in the 2nd, flied out in the 4th, singled in the 6th and tripled in the 8th.

At the moment, Crothers is hitting .282 with 4 home runs and 29 RBIs. He has played in 66 games and scored 32 times.
