Dairon Blanco collected four hits in five trips to the and driven in both runs via a double and a homerun in the Estrellas Orientales 2-1 win over the Leones del Escogido to open up the Round Robin in the LIDOM. Although he didn’t factor in the decision Jorge Martínez was also splendid on the mound tossing four innings of four-hit, one-run ball to help the cause for the Estrellas.
In the Liga ARCO Peter O’Brien hit a key two-run seventh inning longball to put the exclamation point on Culiacán’s 9-6 win over Obregón. The Cuban-American slugger also drove in four runs on the evening and now has 36 on the campaign.
In the LBPRC Pedro Echemendia tossed six impeccable innings in which he gave up a run via four hits and retired four via the strikeout. The right-hander did not factor in the decision but Ponce downed RA 12, 3-1. Echemendia saw his ERA descend to 2.45 on the season. JC Escarra also helped the cause with a double and a run scored in three trips to the plate.
