Tuesday’s Action
In the Dominican on Tuesday, Oneil Cruz’s team played a doubleheader. He didn’t start game one, but played a big part in the win. Cruz walked, then scored the game winning run on a double. It was his first walk of the winter (though I’ll point out that some opposing fans on Twitter were mad that the umpire missed a third strike call on him, in their opinion) Here’s the video of the mad dash:
