Hit Parade: de la Cruz Pops 5 Hits
Francisco de la Cruz exploded for a barrage of base hits today at Toros Stadium.

The Tijuana third baseman had a field day in the 24-1 triumph over the Palm Beach Nationals, finishing 5-for-6.

"My hitting philosophy is simple," he said. "I focus on just seeing the ball and I try to get a good pitch."

de la Cruz must have focused at least 5 times and apparently got some good pitches, too, leading to one of his best days ever with the bat. Francisco de la Cruz singled in the 2nd, hit a three-run home run off Johnny Busse in the 2nd, doubled in the 3rd, grounded out in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Jimmy Purscell in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off Jimmy Purscell in the 8th.

Currently de la Cruz is hitting .435 and has collected 7 home runs, 23 RBIs and scored 12 times, while playing in 14 games.
