Knowles Hits for Cycle Against Pittsburgh
Philadelphia's Pete Knowles accomplished what few others have done -- he hit for the cycle, collecting a single, double, triple and home run in the same game.

For the day, Knowles finished 4-for-4 with 6 runs batted in and 3 runs scored and helped the Blue Caps knock off the Pittsburgh Vulcans, 19-4, at Columbia Avenue Grounds.

"I didn't even know I was about to hit for the cycle until after," Knowles told reporters following the game. "One of the guys mentioned it when I got back to the dugout."

Pete Knowles walked in the 2nd, hit a three-run double in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Sy Gates in the 5th, tripled in the 7th and hit an RBI single in the 7th.

In his season totals, Knowles has 5 home runs, .241 BA, .340 OBP, 41 RBIs and 36 runs scored. He has played in 65 games.
