Gardiner graduate Mike Burdin made St. Joseph's College baseball history on Saturday, when he became just the second Monk to ever hit for the cycle.

A junior, Burdin hit a double in the second inning before hitting his first career home run in the fourth. He tripled in the fifth, and his single came in the sixth.

The only other St. Joe's player to hit for the cycle was Bill Mucci. A member of the school's Hall of Fame, Mucci did it against the University of Maine-Farmington on April 25, 1987.
