With two outs, Socrates Brito hit a double to center field and later scored thanks to a run-scoring single by Yainer Diaz.\n\nThe capital’s offense attacked again in the second episode. Franchy Cordero opened with a double to right field, advanced to third on a fly ball by Jonathan Ara\u00faz and scored after a wild pitch by Lamet. Immediately afterwards, Jos\u00e9 Marmolejos hit another double to right field and crossed the plate with a new wild pitch from the right-handed pitcher.\n\nThe Eagles scored in the bottom of the second inning against Travis Lakins, after consecutive singles by Ezequiel Dur\u00e1n and Alberto Rodr\u00edguez, which placed runners on the corners. A sacrifice fly by Jerar Encarnaci\u00f3n to right field allowed Dur\u00e1n to score.\n\nLakins (3-0) was credited with the victory after a solid performance of five innings, in which he allowed only one run, three hits and gave a walk.\n\nThe Lions extended their lead in the sixth inning against Yoan L\u00f3pez. With runners on the corners and one out, Marmolejos hit a single to right field to drive in Pedro Severino with the fourth run. A double steal allowed Jonathan Ara\u00faz to score the fifth, while Marmolejos advanced to second and then scored on a hit by Jonathan Guzm\u00e1n to left field.\n\nThe Eagles reacted with a home run by Elih Marrero with two men on base between left and center field against Carlos Teller, closing the gap in the score. However, the Escogido responded with two runs in the eighth inning, driven by a productive double by Marmolejos to right field against Jonathan Hern\u00e1ndez.\n\nAneurys Zabala was in charge of closing the game by pitching the ninth inning scoreless and earning the save (1). The loss went to Lamet (1-3), who allowed the first three runs of the Leones.\n\n\nOffensive Highlights<\/h3>\n\n\nFor the Escogido, Jos\u00e9 Marmolejos went 3-for-4, with two doubles, two RBIs, two runs scored, and one stolen base; Jonathan Guzm\u00e1n went 2-for-4, with two RBIs; S\u00f3crates Brito, 2-for-5, with a double, one run scored, and one stolen base; and Yamaico Navarro, 2-for-5, with one run scored.\n\nFor the Eagles, Elih Marrero finished 3-1, with a home run, three RBIs, a run scored and a walk, while Juan Lagares batted 3-1, with an RBI and a run scored.\n\nThis Thursday will be a day off in the LIDOM.
