In addition, the Romanenses closed the particular series against the Tigres with a 7-3 advantage, while the Licey fell to a 21-27 record.\n\nLiberato led the offensive charge by hitting his first home run of the campaign, the collective number 40 for the orange team, leaders of the league in that category. The outfielder extended his offensive streak by connecting hits in six of his first seven games and added his third consecutive game driving in at least one run.\n\nFrom the mound, the victory went to reliever Greg Minier (2-0, 0.00), who pitched 1.2 scoreless innings, allowing one hit and striking out two batters. The loss fell on starter C\u00e9sar Valdez (2-1, 4.38), punished with four runs and five hits in 2.1 innings.\n\n\n

The races<\/h3>\n\n\nThe Toros took control early in the game with a two-run home run by Liberato in the first inning. In the second inning, they scored one more thanks to a sacrifice bunt by Tres Barrera and a sacrifice fly by Rafael Lantigua to put the score at 3-0.\n\nThe Tigres reacted in the third inning with two runs driven in by Ronny Mauricio and Mel Rojas Jr., closing the score to 3-2. However, the Toros responded immediately with two more runs, including a run-scoring single by pinch hitter Bryan Lavastida and a defensive error by shortstop Sergio Alc\u00e1ntara, extending the lead to 5-2.\n\nLicey scored a run in the fourth, but the Romanenses continued their offensive with a double by Liberato and an unstoppable hit by Rudy Mart\u00edn Jr. to make the score 7-3. In the seventh inning, the Toros scored two more to seal the 9-6 victory.\n\n\n

Offensive Performance<\/h3>\n\n\nFor the Toros, Luis Liberato went 3-for-5, with a home run, a double, three RBIs, and two runs scored; Bryan De La Cruz went 2-for-3, with one RBI and two runs scored; Rudy Mart\u00edn Jr. went 2-for-5, with one RBI and one run scored; Bryan Lavastida went 1-for-4, with one RBI; and Eloy Jim\u00e9nez went 1-for-3, with one run scored and two walks.\n\nFor the Tigres, Ronny Mauricio went 2-for-5, with a double, two RBIs, and a run scored; Gustavo N\u00fa\u00f1ez went 3-for-5, with a double, two RBIs, and two runs scored; and Mel Rojas Jr. went 1-for-5, with one RBI.\n\n\n

Next Match<\/h3>\n\n\nThis Monday, the Toros del Este will play their last home game and the penultimate of the regular season, when they receive the \u00c1guilas Cibae\u00f1as at the start of a two-game miniseries, scheduled for 7:30 p.m. at the Francisco A.
