Cruz Raps 3 Homers Against Diablos Monday, May 6th , 2069 Javier Cruz went on an explosive hitting spree against the Mexico City Diablos at Corona Field today, launching a trio of blasts to lead the Laredo Border Jumpers to the 8-0 win. The third baseman finished 3-for-5 with 3 runs scored and 6 runs batted in. "It was just one of those days," Cruz said in a postgame interview. "I don't know how to explain it. I'm just putting a good swing on the ball." Mexico City skipper Jon McDaniels said Cruz was "locked-in." "We made some pretty good pitches," he said. "Those first two homers were exactly where the pitcher wanted to put them. He's just hot right now -- you've just got to tip your hat to him." Javier Cruz hit a two-run home run off Stan Webb in the 1st, flied out in the 3rd, grounded out in the 6th, hit a two-run home run off Kerry Gross in the 7th and hit a two-run home run off Bill Strachan in the 9th. This year Cruz has hit at a .224 clip with 22 RBIs, 13 home runs and 17 runs scored. |
