Going Once! Twice! Gone Again! 3 HR for Cruz Friday, July 24th , 2065 Manuel Cruz must believe in the Big Bang theory. He proved it today by banging three deep against the Nebraska Terriers. The hard-hitting Wyoming Goats left fielder added a lot of firepower and excitement to the 6-5 Goats win, leaving fans and the opposing dugout buzzing about his standout performance. "He looked real good today," Nebraska manager said later. "I think the guys were awful impressed by him. Frustrated, but impressed." For the game, Cruz had 3 hits in 6 at-bats, drove in 4, and scored 3 runs. The 27-year-old is known in league circles as a tireless worker, and told reporters he has recently been putting in extra time fine-tuning his swing, "to keep it short, compact and simple." "Looks like it worked today," he said. Manuel Cruz grounded out in the 1st, flied out in the 3rd, grounded out in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Zhao-ying Zhào in the 7th, hit a solo-shot off Dave Robinson in the 9th and hit a solo-shot off Dave Mahan in the 11th. So far in 2065 Cruz is batting .276 with 11 home runs, 41 RBIs and 53 runs scored. He has 90 hits in 326 at-bats and a .345 OBP. |
