Cortez Bangs Out 5 Base Hits
No matter what the Chicago (APP) Cubs threw at him today, Ivan Cortez hit it. He easily handled Cubs pitching, going 5 for 7 and helping the Cardinals to a 31-0 triumph at Howard Johnson Field.

"The way I was swinging today, I think I could have closed my eyes and hit the ball," he told BNN reporters in the postgame interview.

Told of Cortez's quip, Cubs skipper Jose Sixtos said he "would take him up on that next time."

Ivan Cortez doubled in the 1st, flied out in the 2nd, hit a two-run home run off Rob Craft in the 3rd, hit an RBI single in the 4th, struck out in the 4th, singled in the 5th and hit a solo-shot off Rob Craft in the 7th.

So far this season, Cortez has recorded a .290 batting average with 69 hits, 20 home runs, 77 RBIs, 57 runs scored and a .382 OBP.
