The timely offense of Cristhian Adames and \u00c1ngel Genao, along with effective relief pitching, was key to the Aguilucho triumph.\nAfter allowing a run in the first episode, the Eagles&#8217; pitching staff held firm, preventing the Bulls from scoring again. Adames drove in the team&#8217;s first run in the first inning, while Genao secured the definitive lead with a run-scoring single in the seventh.\nJeurys Familia closed out the game, earning his first save of the Round Robin despite facing a bases-loaded, two-out situation.\nWith this victory, the Eagles improved their record to 6-5, remaining one game behind the Toros (7-4) and two behind the Leones del Escogido (8-3).\nRoddery Mu\u00f1oz obtained the victory (1-0) after pitching a scoreless inning, while Yaramil Hiraldo took the loss (1-1).\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Game Development<\/h2>\n\nThe Eagles took the lead in the first inning thanks to a walk to Steward Berroa, a hit-and-run by Geraldo Perdomo, and a run-scoring single by Cristhian Adames.

Leody Taveras drew a walk, stole second, and advanced to third, later scoring on a wild pitch.\nThe run that secured the victory came in the seventh, when \u00c1ngel Genao connected a run-scoring single that brought Jerar Encarnaci\u00f3n to the plate.\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dominant Pitching<\/h2>\n\nStarting pitcher Luis Felipe Castillo worked two innings allowing one run.
