The Aguilas, under new-old manager Tony Pena had won two games in a row and had a 4-run lead into the sixth inning last night. Things were looking up for the former champions, but then the roof fell in and an outfielder dropped an easy fly and the shortstop let a ball go under his glove. Before you could say “Toros del Este” the game was tied going into the ninth inning. Unfortunately the relief pitching of the Aguilas needs to be strengthened and the Toros beat up on Santiago Ramirez, scoring 3 earned runs, winning the game 7-4.
