La Romana \u2013 In an exciting matchup that extended for 11 innings at the Francisco A. Micheli stadium, the Leones del Escogido achieved a crucial victory over the Toros del Este with a score of 4-3. This result positions them just one win away from the bicampeonato and securing their number 18 crown in the Dominican Republic Professional Baseball League (LIDOM), solidifying a 3-1 lead in the Final Series.<\/p>\n
The defining run of the game came in the eleventh inning. With runners on first and second and one out, Erik Gonz\u00e1lez hit a ground ball to the shortstop that seemed headed for a double play. However, an error on the throw by second baseman Rafael Lantigua allowed Michael De la Cruz to score the go-ahead run.<\/p>\n
Previously, in the ninth inning and with the score tied, De la Cruz had hit a single to center field against Joe Corbett, driving in Raimel Tapia and giving the Leones a momentary lead. The Toros, however, responded in the bottom of the inning to tie the game and force extra innings.<\/p>\n
The home team took the lead in the first chapter thanks to a double by Sergio Alc\u00e1ntara, a sacrifice touch by Rudy Martin and a simple RBI by Eric Filia. The Escogido quickly tied in the second inning with a home run by Alcides Escobar, who drove in a teammate. In the fifth inning, the Toros tied the score with a hit by Eloy Jim\u00e9nez.<\/p>\n
Aneurys Zabala (2-0) took the victory, retiring the three batters he faced in the tenth inning. Miguel Castro (0-1) took the loss, while Alexander Colom\u00e9 (1) earned the save.<\/p>\n
Regarding the offense, Alcides Escobar stood out with a 5-2 game, including a home run, two RBIs, and a run scored. Raimel Tapia went 2-4, with two runs scored, a walk, and two stolen bases.
