Farmers Heading to Round 2
Jose De La Cruz has led his Plant City Farmers to a Round 1 victory.

Plant City's center fielder was named series MVP after playing an instrumental role in winning the series 3-1 and eliminating the Lakeland Catfish.

"See the ball, hit the ball," he said. "It's simple what I did this series."

The club advanced to the Round 2 with a 7-2 triumph at Catfish Ballpark in the deciding game.

De La Cruz was red hot in the series, which saw him put up a .400 average, as well as 2 home runs and 4 RBI.

The Plant City Farmers don't know who they will face in the next round. They will play the winner of the Daytona Firebirds - Gainesville Gators series. Daytona leads the series 2 games to 1. The Round 2 schedule will be announced after the Round 1 finishes.
