SANTO DOMINGO.\u2013<\/strong> A memorable performance by Raimel Tapia<\/strong>, who became the ninth player in the history of the Estrellas Orientales to connect five hits in a game, drove the 7-3 victory over the Tigres del Licey this Saturday, in the continuation of the tournament dedicated to Juan Marichal and in option to the Copa Banreservas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His first two hits came against Cameron Gann in the first and third innings; the double was hit against Ryan Watson in the fifth; then he added another hit against Luis Fr\u00edas in the seventh, and closed his extraordinary performance against Wander Suero’s changeup.\n\nThe last player to record a 5-5 in Lidom had been Julio Carreras (Gigantes del Cibao) on November 28, 2023, precisely against the Estrellas Orientales. The first to do it with the greens was Papito Mateo on June 11, 1954, according to the Book of Records by F\u00e9lix Garc\u00eda Estrella.\n\nWith the triumph, the Estrellas stop a streak of four defeats and take a 3-2 lead in the particular series against the Licey. They also add their fifth victory as visitors.\n\n\n

Performances from the mound<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\nOscar de la Cruz opened for the Estrellas and worked 3.1 innings of five hits and three runs (only one earned), with four strikeouts.\nThe victory went to “Jhan Mari\u00f1ez (1-1)”, who dominated the seventh inning with two strikeouts.\n\n\n

For the Licey, Cameron Gann allowed six hits and three earned runs in 2.2 innings, including a home run.
Luis Fr\u00edas (0-1)<\/strong> took the loss, allowing one run in just two-thirds of an inning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
