Last night the Toros got a much-needed victory over Los Leones del Escogido and pushed themselves back into the playoff race. The night started off well for Escogido as star David Ortiz threw out the first pitch but the Leones couldn’t do much more after that and left ten men on base in a 5-3 loss. The Gigantes beat up on the Tigres behind a 12-hit team effort and blanked Licey 8-0. The Gigantes were led by the offensive explosion of Alexi Casilla who went 3-5.
In other baseball news the Estrellas finally got a victory over the Aguilas on a game-winning hit from Willis Otanez. The final score was 5-4.
