Pedro Echemendia tossed a gem in Ponce’s 1-0 shutout of Mayagüez. The right-hander from Ciego de Ávila, Cuba also fanned eight hitters to carry the Leones on his back to a win. In 9⅓ innings pitched in the circuit the hurler has only allowed two earned runs over that span and sports a shiny 1.93 ERA in the LBPRC.
In the LIDOM Dairon Blanco knocked in a run and scored a run in four trips to the plate to do his part in the Estrellas Orientales blanking of the Toros del Este 2-0. The speedy outfielder is now hitting .273 on the and has also stolen a base on the campaign.
In México Yadir Drake went yard for the first time on the season, drove in two runs and scored another to be the difference in Guasave’s 2-1 win over Jalisco. The slugger who is hitting .354 is quietly having a wonderful start to the season. Yoelquis Guibert also helped the cause with two hits and a run scored in four at-bats. The native of Santiago de Cuba, who is hitting .327 has been a pleasant surprise for the Algodoneros this season.
