JC Escarra went yard in three at-bats, knocked in a run and scored on another occasion, but his best efforts did not prevent Carolina from falling to Caguas 4-1. The All-Star catcher was a great addition to the Gigantes hitting .314 in the championship series. The Criollos on the other hand are a victory away from winning a record 21st LBPRC title.
In Venezuela Yadir Drake collected two hits in four trips to the plate and scored two runs to help pace Caracas in their 8-4 victory over Aragua. The Cuban slugger is hitting a robust .500 in his short time with the Leones. Lázaro Blanco was effective in his own right on the mound tossing 4 ⅓ innings of six-hit, one run ball to watch his ERA descend to 3.77 on the campaign.
Rangel Ravelo was a key piece in Lara’s 7-6 extra-inning win over Margarita, the infielder drove in a run, scored a run and swatted two hits in three at-bats for the redbirds. The slugger is hitting .323 during the postseason. Ravelo has been a key bat for Lara since his late season addition to the team.
