Rizzo circled the bases for an inside-the-park home run, the first of his career.We both called for it at the same time, Duvall said. I thought we were going to collide. I didnt take my eye off the ball, but I mightve flinched a little bit. It hit him pretty good. It ended up rolling pretty far.Rizzo said he couldnt remember the last time he circled the bases that way.Maybe Little League? he said. Nothing like that. Ill take it.It was the Cubs first inside-the-park homer since 2011, when Tony Campana circled the bases, also against Cincinnati.Earlier this month, Hamilton was on the seven-day disabled list because of a concussion he suffered sliding into third base.Reporters could see a noticeable knot on the side of Hamiltons head Wednesday after the game, but he did not speak to the media.The Cubs beat the Reds 9-2 on Wednesday to complete a three-game sweep.The Associated Press contributed to this report.Discount Air Max 95 Australia Sale .
