Hat Trick of Home Runs for Cruz Monday, August 25th , 2064 The "hardest feat in sports" debate is a never-ending one with no correct answer, but hitting three home runs is certainly in the conversation. That's exactly what Jerry Cruz did at Sentries Park, going deep three times and carrying his team to victory, 22-1. "It all came together. I was seeing the ball well and I got some good pitches to hit," Cruz said. "Good things happen, when that happens." The Media Luna Marlins shortstop blistered the Springfield Sentries for 4 hits, batted in 8 runs and scored 4 times. "It ain't like we weren't trying," Springfield manager Barrett Jackson said. "He was hot and really torched my boys today." Jerry Cruz hit a GRAND SLAM off Francisco Miranda in the 1st, hit a solo-shot off Jonas Medina in the 3rd, singled in the 4th, grounded out in the 4th, grounded out in the 7th and hit a three-run home run off Manny Chavez in the 8th. On the year, Cruz is hitting .326 with 112 hits, 17 home runs, 66 RBIs, .427 OBP and has scored 77 runs. |
