Great Day for Cruz -- 5 Hits
Julio Cruz had an answer for everything the New Jersey Athletics threw at him today at Johnson & Johnson Field. The Oregon first baseman went 5-for-5 in the game to put his name in the record book and put the Explorers on top, 8-3.

Summing up his batting philosophy to BNN writers after the game, Cruz said, "I just see the ball and I hit it."

Julio Cruz hit an RBI double in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off Glen Duncan in the 4th, doubled in the 6th, hit a three-run home run off Eddie Gerard in the 7th and singled in the 9th.

This season Cruz has hit at a .259 clip and produced 57 runs batted in, 17 home runs and 46 runs.
