Millerton girl hits cycle

Millerton resident and Taconic Hills High School varsity softball player Kiersten Duncan hit her first cycle on Thursday, May 2.

A cycle is where a player hits a single, double, triple and home run in a single game (in no particular order).

Not only did Duncan hit those four cycle requirements, but she also managed four RBIs.

Her exceptional performance led to Taconic Hills winning over Maple Hill in the Patroon Conference game, 18-5.

“We’re very proud of her. She works very hard. It’s a really special moment in her career,” said Amiee Duncan, her mother.
