5-Hit Barrage by Cruz
A jubilant Santo Cruz joined the postgame press conference at The Star Zone today to offer some unusual words of encouragement -- for the Mexico City Cerveceros pitching staff he had just vanquished.

"It may not have looked like it," said the Houston Hammertime second baseman, "but I saw some awful good pitches today. If luck hadn't been on my side it might have turned out a lot different."

That would not have been the conclusion of anyone who saw his dominant 5-for-6 hitting performance, which led the Hammertime to a 15-9 win.

"He made it look easy," said Gerald O'Brien, manager of the Cerveceros. "We never figured out what to do with him. Obviously."

Santo Cruz singled in the 1st, flied out in the 2nd, hit a three-run home run off Manuel Romero in the 4th, singled in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

Presently Cruz is batting .350 and has collected 8 home runs, 60 RBIs, .418 OBP and scored 55 runs.
