Micheli Stadium. The timely offense of Cristhian Adames and \u00c1ngel Genao, along with effective relief pitching, were key to the \u00c1guilas&#8217; triumph.\n\nAfter allowing a run in the first inning, 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 hit in the seventh.\n\nJeurys Familia took care of the closing, and despite facing a situation with the bases loaded and two outs, he managed to dominate Eloy Jim\u00e9nez with a fly ball to left field, obtaining his first save of the Round Robin.\n\nWith this victory, the Eagles improved their record to 6-5, remaining one game behind the Toros (7-4), who are in second place in the standings, and two behind the Leones del Escogido (8-3), leaders of the tournament, with seven games left to play.\n\nRoddery Mu\u00f1oz (1-0) took the victory after pitching a scoreless inning, while Yaramil Hiraldo (1-1) took the loss.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Match Development<\/h2>\n\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. The Bulls responded immediately, tying the game when Rudy Martin Jr. singled, stole second, and scored on a hit by Manuel Pe\u00f1a.\n\nIn the sixth inning, the yellows regained the lead. Leody Taveras received a walk, stole second and advanced to third, before scoring on a &#8220;wild pitch&#8221;, putting the score at 2-1.\n\nThe run that secured the victory came in the seventh, when \u00c1ngel Genao connected a run-scoring single that brought Jerar Encarnaci\u00f3n, who had reached second base, to the plate.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Dominant Pitching<\/h2>\n\n\nStarting pitcher Luis Felipe Castillo worked two innings, allowing one run. The relief was key with Deury Carrasco, Jean Carlos Henr\u00edquez, Yunior Marte, Roddery Mu\u00f1oz, Junior Fern\u00e1ndez, Richard Rodr\u00edguez and Jeurys Familia, who kept the Toros at bay for the rest of the game.\n\nFor the Toros, Enny Romero pitched five solid innings of one run and two hits, but had no decision. Hiraldo and Miguel Castro allowed one run each in relief.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">On the Offensive<\/h2>\n\n\nFor the Eagles, Adames and Genao drove in a run each, Geraldo Perdomo went 2-for-4 and Aderl\u00edn Rodr\u00edguez hit a double.\n\nFor the Bulls, Manuel Pe\u00f1a produced the only run, while Rudy Martin Jr. went 2-for-3.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Next Match<\/h2>\n\n\nThe \u00c1guilas Cibae\u00f1as will face the Leones del Escogido this Saturday at the Quisqueya Juan Marichal Stadium, starting at 4:00 p.m.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cibao Eagles defeat the Toros del Este in a close match La Romana \u2013 In an exciting match of the semifinal series of the LIDOM 2025-26 tournament, the \u00c1guilas Cibae\u00f1as achieved an important 3-1 victory over the Toros del Este at the Francisco A.
