PLASTEK HITS FOR CYCLE TO SPARK C. WALACE
Stan Plastek hit for the cycle, going 5-for-5 with a grand-slam home run, as C.Wallace Insurance bombed Wilmington Truck Body 21-6 in a Delaware Semi-pro Baseball League game at 18th and Van Buren Monday.
Paul Niggebrugge went 4-for-5 with a homer and three RBI for first-place C. Wallace, 15-4, and Dave Lawson won his fifth game against one defeat.
Bob Carpenter and Kevin Shockley had two RBI each for Wilmington Truck Body, 2-19.
This game took place on 7/11/1983. It has been updated to the record book as the hitting for the cycle was over looked in the record book. Only two players have hit for the cycle in Delaware Semi-pro history. Stan Plastek did it in 1983 and Bill Falasco did it in 1969 for Canada Dry.
