Alay Lago went yard for the first time on the season amongst his three hits, a three-run sixth inning shot in the Tren del Norte’s 15-8 loss to the Leones de León. The infielder also scored on an occasion and saw his average rise to .294 on the campaign.
Yassel Pino also got in the action by driving in two runs via a single in the fifth inning and scored on an occasion as well and is hitting a robust .389 on the season in the Nicaraguan Winter League. For the slugger it was his run batted in on the yeat.
Ernesto Martínez Jr swatted his first hit in the LIDOM, a double during the seventh inning of the Estrellas Orientales 10-4 loss to the Toros del Este. The young outfielder now hits .333 on the season and could be a key figure for the team heading into the second month of the season in the winter league.
