Hitting for the cycle is when a player hits a single, a double, a triple and a home run in the same game. The last person to accomplish that and draw a walk in the same game was Gary Matthews Jr. of the Texas Rangers on Sept. 14, 2006.
Facing the Detroit Tigers at Comerica Park, Matthews started with a single in the first inning, added a double in the second and a triple in the fourth, and then completed the cycle with a home run in the sixth. In his last at-bat in the eighth inning, Matthews walked and scored on teammate Michael Young's home run. The Rangers defeated the Tigers 11-3.
Matthews was the 14th player to pull off the cycle in "natural order," starting with a single and finishing with a home run. He also became the 19th switch-hitter to hit for the cycle.
Future Hall of Famer Craig Biggio once hit for the cycle and reached first base with an intentional walk. Playing against the Colorado Rockies on April 8, 2002, the Astros infielder singled in the first inning, tripled in the third, homered in the fourth, was walked intentionally in the sixth, and doubled in the eighth. The Astros defeated the Rockies 8-4.
No one. Players are not allowed to play for two different teams in the same game in professional baseball.
It is called "hitting for the cycle".
'Hitting for the cycle' means a batter scoring a single, double, triple and home run in the same game across at least four at-bats. These can come in any order. The 'natural cycle' means the batter scores a single, double, triple and home run in that order in the same game. A reverse natural cycle is the same as a natural cycle, but in reverse order: a home run, a triple, a double and a single in that order in the same game. There can be other results from additional at-bats, but the four qualifying hits that make up the natural cycle or reverse natural cycle must be in the prescribed order. To date, there have only been three reverse natural cycles in MLB: Jim Fregosi, for the California Angels, against the Boston Red Sox in Anaheim, May 20th 1968 (Angels won 5-4). Luke Scott, for the Houston Astros, against the Arizona Diamondbacks in Houston, July 28th 2006 (Diamondbacks won 8-7 in 11 innings). Carlos Gómez, for the Minnesota Twins, against the Chicago White Sox in Chicago, May 7th 2008 (Twins won 13-1).
Actually, both occur at about the same rate. In MLB history, there have been 255 no hitters thrown and 277 batters to hit for the cycle. Click on the links below to see the pitchers that have thrown no hitters and the batters that have hit for the cycle.

'Hitting for the cycle' means a player got a single, double, triple, and home run in the same game.
In baseball, it is when a player hits a single, double, triple and home run (in any order, but if in that order a natural cycle)in the same game, so it is probably the same thing in softball. It is the same in softball as well.
