5-for-5 Day for Cruz
It was a sensational day at the plate for Fernando Cruz as he led the charge to a 9-3 win over the Barons. The Balzac first baseman was pure misery for the Bismarck pitching staff. He left them shell-shocked with 5 hits in 5 at-bats in an explosive display of hitting.

"Cruz put the ball into play and he really hit it hard," said José Martínez, manager for the Barons, after the game. "When you do that, you've got a good chance to do some damage. And that's what happened. I feel like we threw some good pitches, but he just put some good swings on the ball."

Fernando Cruz hit an RBI single in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 5th, singled in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

This season Cruz is hitting .347 with 131 hits, 8 home runs, 65 RBIs, scored 68 runs and played in 96 games.
