Could the Leones be making that improbable push out of the cellar and into the hunt for the post-season? Sure looks like it as the Escogido pulled off another win last night, making four wins in a row. Jarrod Saltalamacchia hit a game-tying homerun while Tony Batista hit a double, which turned out to be the game-winning run. Playing against the Toros, the Escogido took the lead in the third inning and never looked back. <\/p>\n
Juan Francisco, Victor Mendez, Nelson Cruz, Kendry Morales and William Venable hit seven homeruns between them to guide the Gigantes to a 16-8 thumping against the Tigres del Licey. The game was decided early on thanks to the Gigante’s bats and continued play by the Gigantes could get them a championship season. <\/p>\n
In last night’s final game the Estrellas Orientales pulled off an improbable late inning win after Michael Martinez hit a game-winning single past the shortstop giving the Estrellas a 3-2 win over the Aguilas. Though the win doesn’t do much for the Estrellas’ post-season chances, each game they win gives them the title of season spoiler assuring they have a final say on who plays in the post-season. <\/p>\n
