					|   | de la Cruz 5-for-5 Against Chiefs Thursday, June 18th , 2048
 The Syracuse Chiefs might think twice next time about pitching to Alfredo de la Cruz.
 
 At Isotopes Park today, the Albuquerque Isotopes right fielder burned Syracuse pitching, going 5-for-5 in a 8-5 Albuquerque triumph.
 
 "When he's on his game," Albuquerque skipper Brent McMinn told reporters, "he can probably stroke a base hit blindfolded."
 
 Alfredo de la Cruz doubled in the 1st, hit an RBI double in the 2nd, doubled in the 4th, hit a solo-shot off Cory Jones in the 5th and singled in the 7th.
 
 For the season de la Cruz is hitting .295, batted in 37 runs with 9 home runs and 53 runs scored.
