Kentucky Wildcats in the Minors: AJ Reed Hits for Cycle

Former Kentucky Wildcats baseball star AJ Reed, the unanimous 2014 player of the year in college baseball, hit for the cycle as the Lancaster Jethawks defeated Visalia Rawhide 11-3 on Tuesday night.

It became official in the eighth inning when he hit a single.

Reed had hit his league-leading 16th homer in the first inning, hit a RBI-double in the fifth and added a RBI-triple in the seventh. He became the first JetHawks (36-29) player to hit for the cycle since Marc Wik on June 2 at High Desert.

Reed is currently playing for the Class A+ affiliate of the Houston Astros.
