The 19 year old proudly wore the Guam flag around his waist as he described the feeling of winning1st place in this year's baseball Micronesian Games tournament.
"It's the best feeling ever...we've got a whole bunch of guys who have been working hard since day one," said Cruz.
Cruz was first introduced to baseball by his father at the age of five.
"I started playing after my dad tossed me a glove and threw me a ball and ever since then I fell in love with the sport," shared Cruz.
This is Cruz's very first tour with the Guam National Team, as well as his first Micronesian Games. When asked about how he has been liking Pohnpei so far, Cruz stated, "It's green and beautiful, I love it. "
