Nelson Cruz still got it. He hit a single, he went to 2nd base on a wild pitch, and he scored the winning run. https://t.co/gu4FXpd1IO

42歲老將克魯茲（Nelson Cruz）不只代表多明尼加出賽，同時兼任總管，今天7局登場打擊，全場鼓掌歡呼，他也沒有漏氣，敲出安打，最後還跑回再見分，率隊提前扣倒勝。
克魯茲今年轉戰教士，個人第4次參加經典賽，這次同時擔任總管兼球員。他在先前對勇士的熱身賽，就曾擊出全壘打，記者高梅茲（Hector Gomez）指出，這場比賽雖非正式賽，但克魯茲成為史上第一位開轟的總管兼球員。

今天對以色列之戰，克魯茲先是上場守備，7局替補打擊，1出局一壘有人時，敲出左外野安打，再靠暴投上到二壘，隨後在隊友的安打護送下，跑回致勝分。
克魯茲上場打擊時，現場許多多明尼加的球迷紛紛起立鼓掌，向這位老將致敬。
