The starting player hit a three-run home run, in addition to a double and an RBI single, finishing 4-3 with four RBIs and two runs scored. Captain Juan Lagares also shone, going 4-3 with two RBIs. The game started 32 minutes late due to ground conditioning work after the rain, which also forced the suspension of the other two games scheduled by LIDOM. With the victory, the Eagles improved their record to 2-0, staying at the top of the young championship, while the Bulls are still winless (0-2). The victory was credited to “Jordany Mézquita (1-0)”, who pitched 2.2 perfect innings in relief, retiring eight consecutive batters, including three by way of the strikeout. The loss went to “Franklin Kilomé (0-1)”, punished with four runs in just one inning. For the Eagles, Randy Wynne opened the game and failed to complete the first inning (0.1 IP, 2 CL). Then, the yellow bullpen —made up of Mézquita, Pedro Payano, Óscar Rayo, Raúl Brito, Eric Cerantola, Jeuris Familia and Carlos Espinal— combined to contain the taurine offense. The Toros used seven pitchers, with Emailin Montilla (1.1 IP, 2 ER) and Antonio Jiménez (0.1 IP, 3 ER) being the most punished. Joely Rodríguez, Tanner Kiest and Jesús Liranzo kept the score at zero, while Jorge Bautista and Joe Corbett allowed one run each.

That’s how they scored

The Eagles attacked early with four runs in the first inning against Kilomé, with the productive hits of Emmanuel Rodríguez and Juan Lagares standing out, in addition to a defensive error that allowed another run. The Toros responded in the bottom half with a home run by Bryan Torres that brought in two, but from then on the Toros’ offense was neutralized. In the third episode, the visitors extended their lead with a double by Aderlin Rodríguez and a single by Lagares. The Toros scored with a solo home run by Mickey Gasper (4th) and one more in the fifth act, but the definitive explosion came in the sixth, when Rodríguez hit a three-run home run to seal the score 10-4. Adael Amador scored the final run for the Eagles in the eighth inning, following a single and a sacrifice fly by Carter Jensen.
