Former Molino Resident Gindl Cycles In Nashville Sounds Win

July 12, 2011

Former Molino resident Caleb Gindl hit for the cycle — a single, double, triple and a homer — Sunday night for the minor league Nashville Sounds.

Gindl became the third and most recent Sound to accomplish the feat in the team’s 34-year history. The right fielder ripped a triple in the second, homered in the third, doubled in the eighth, and completed the feat with a single in the ninth. Gindl went 4-for-5 with three runs scored to join J.R. House (2004) and Tike Redman (2001) as the only players to hit for the cycle in a Sounds uniform.

The victory gave Nashville (41-49) a 2-2 series split with Albuquerque.

Gindl, a 2007 Brewers’  fifth-round pick, played high school ball for the Pace Patriots. Before moving to Santa Rosa County, he lived in Molino, playing at both the Molino and Cantonment ballparks. He spends much of his off-time in North Escambia, where he still has family in Molino and Walnut Hill.
