Davey Clips Millers for Cycle
William Davey was jubilant as the Buffalo Bluebirds left the field with a win, 10-2, over the Rochester Millers. He had every right to be.

The 25-year-old center fielder hit for the cycle at Bluebird Grounds, had a 4-for-5 game and added 4 RBI and 1 run to boot.

"It's too bad I can't do that every day," Davey said with a smile to reporters after the game. "It would do wonders for my batting average."

Buffalo manager Tim Timpano was "proud" of the center fielder'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."

William Davey hit an RBI triple in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, grounded out in the 6th and hit a two-run home run off Jesse Burke in the 8th.

This year, Davey has hit at a .507 clip with 35 hits, 2 home runs, 16 RBIs and 23 runs scored.
