Early on, a duel of undefeated teams that momentarily defined the supremacy of Group B ended as a wide victory for the National District team, which defeated Bahoruco 10-4, thus remaining alone in first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The National District, which had just handed San Pedro de Macor\u00eds a 14-3 knockout yesterday, has 24 runs produced in its first two games, and today arrived with active bats to lead its group in the tournament dedicated to Edgar Augusto F\u00e9liz Arbona, director of Dasac.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sebasti\u00e1n Rodr\u00edguez won the game, he worked four complete innings, allowed 5 singles, gave up 3 runs, one of them by home run, issued three walks and struck out five, while the loss was charged to Carlos N\u00fa\u00f1ez for the Bahoruco team, in 3.0 IP, he allowed 5 hits, 6 runs, 4 walks and struck out two.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The standout of that match was center fielder Isaac Brito, who hit a double in two official at-bats, scoring two runs and driving in one for his team’s cause.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other results.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the second game, the Cibao duel was won by Valverde over Duarte<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valverde did not fall behind and remains undefeated in Group A after defeating Duarte province 10-5 in a match where they maintained total control from start to finish, and with this result, Duarte province’s aspirations to advance are complicated, as they have yet to put any numbers on the board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greydin Golibart from Valverde sparked with the bat, going 2-for-2, scoring three runs, driving in 2 more, and drawing a walk to be recognized as the standout player of the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santiago shakes it off and wins a tight game against San Pedro de Macor\u00eds<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santiago shakes it off and secures its first victory in the Fedom U12 National, a tight game with many hits that ended in favor of the Cibao team 9-8 over San Pedro de Macor\u00eds. The team from San Pedro has their backs against the wall without recording a win in the first two days of the event, which concludes this coming Sunday, June 14.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yuniel V\u00e1squez Cuevas was the winner, in 2.2 IP, he allowed 5 singles, 2 runs, all earned, two walks and one strikeout, while the loser was V Caminero who in 1.2 innings of work, allowed 6 hits, 6 runs, 3 of which were earned, gave up two walks and struck out three.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santiago Eliezer V\u00e1squez was the MVP of the match; the second baseman went 3-for-3 including a double, with two runs scored and two more driven in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the end of the day, the Santo Domingo Province tied up Peravia’s bats.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Santo Domingo sharpened their bats and achieved their undefeated status masterfully, defeating Peravia 11-1, where, thanks to the combined work of their starting pitchers, they limited the team from the South and only allowed them to hit two singles throughout the entire game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Robert De los Santos, Daniel Paniagua, and Delwin Garc\u00eda were unhittable from the mound, and together they struck out 12 opponents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game’s MVP was center fielder Mois\u00e9s Mart\u00ednez, who went 2-for-2 today, with 3 runs scored, one RBI, and two walks drawn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After two days of action, this is how the standings look.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Group A, Valverde (2-0), Santo Domingo<\/a> (2-0), Peravia (0-2), Duarte (0-2), in the Group B area, the National District (2-0), Santiago (1-1), Peravia (1-1) and San Pedro de Macor\u00eds (0-2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
