José Barrero had a perfect night at the plate swatting three hits in as many trips to the plate, drove in a run and scored on an occasion, but the Estrellas Orientales fell to the Leones del Escogido 10-6 almost sealing their fate in the Dominican Round Robin. The infielder is hitting a solid .270 in the postseason.
In the Liga ARCO Yasmany Tomás collected three hits in five at-bats and knocked in a run, but it was not enough to keep Los Mochis from dropping a 4-3 decision in extra-innings to the Tomateros de Culiacán. The power-hitting native of Havana driven in 10 runs in the postseason and the Cañeros trial the semi-final series 2-1.
There will be a Game 7 in the LBPN after a León 5-4 win over El Tren del Norte last night. League MVP Alay Lago did his best to try to steer ” El Tren” to a win by driving in a run via a first inning single amongst his two hits in five trips to the dish. The two teams will meet tomorrow in a do-or-die last game with a trip to the Serie de Las Américas on the line.
