The Toros arrived at the ninth inning with a 5-3 lead and their closer Joe Colbert on the mound, but the Cibao bats took care of changing the story.
The rally began with a sacrifice fly by Leury Garc\u00eda<\/strong>, which allowed Samad Taylor to score. Immediately afterwards, a wild pitch by Jorge Bautista<\/strong> with the bases loaded opened the door for Carlos Jorge to tie the score 5-5.<\/p>\n\n\nThe final blow came thanks to Deyvison De Los Santos<\/strong>, who connected a three-pointer from the line to center field that drove in Johan Rojas and Luis Garc\u00eda Jr., placing the definitive 7-5 and silencing the Romanense public.\n\nWith the victory, the Giants reached their number 14 triumph (14-19) and tied for fourth place with the Tigres del Licey. In contrast, the Leones del Escogido fell to last place with 14-20, after suffering their second consecutive defeat.\n\n\n
