Although he didn’t factor in the decision Odrisamer Despaigne was masterful. The right-hander from Havana tossed 6 ⅓ innings where he only gave up seven hits and earned run, while fanning four. The hurler watched his ERA descend to 2.71 and Obregón fell to Los Mochis 3-2 in the Liga ARCO.
In the LIDOM Yadiel Hernández and Coco Montes combined for three hits, three RBIs and three runs scored to pace the Águilas Cibaeñas to an 11-4 win over the Leones del Escogido. The Águilas are now only a 1½ behind Licey for the last playoff spot in the Dominican Winter League.
In Venezuela Rangel Ravelo swatted a double in four trips to the plate, knocked in a run and scored a run to lead Lara to an 11-5 win over Caracas. In his brief time with the club the slugger is hitting a robust .385.
