Big Day for Cruz: Swats 5 Hits Wednesday, July 10th , 2086 In a career performance, Murfreesboro Rifles shortstop Pablo Cruz sparkled with the bat at Ballpark of Fort Wayne. Powering his way to a 5-for-6 day at the plate, Cruz led the Rifles to a nice 28-1 win over the Scott County Cougars. Cruz was in high spirits in the clubhouse after the game, joking with reporters that the big game had left him "winded." "Oh sure, 5 hits sounds great but think about how much more baserunning you have to do," he said with a smile. "Next time, I'm just going to take 5 walks." Pablo Cruz singled in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 2nd, singled in the 4th, walked in a run in the 5th, doubled in the 6th, hit an RBI single in the 6th, grounded out in the 7th and walked in the 9th. This season, Cruz has posted a batting average of .299 with 67 hits in 224 at-bats, 5 home runs and 28 RBIs. He has also scored 42 runs, walked 48 times and compiled a .430 OBP. View Boxscore |
