Gavin covered seven impeccable innings, allowing only one hit and striking out four batters.\n\nGavin demonstrated absolute control, using only 70 pitches to complete his outstanding work. His fastball, which ranged between 90 and 92 mph and was used in 79% of his pitches, was his main weapon. He complemented his repertoire with changeups (82-84 mph) and curves (78 mph), keeping opposing batters at bay.\n\nGavin&#8217;s performance was so dominant that he faced a minimum of 21 batters and retired the last 17 consecutively.\n\nThe Lions&#8217; offense made itself felt in the fourth inning, scoring two runs against Enny Romero. Erik Gonz\u00e1lez hit a single to right field, starting the attack. A throwing error by shortstop Jos\u00e9 Tena allowed the first run, and then a hit by Jorge Mateo drove in the second.\n\nIn the sixth, Gonz\u00e1lez was again crucial, connecting a triple to center field and scoring Escogido&#8217;s third run thanks to a sacrifice fly by H\u00e9ctor Rodr\u00edguez.\n\nThe Estrellas managed to score a run thanks to a solo home run by \u00c1ngel Mart\u00ednez, hit between left and center field against Fernando Abad.\n\nGavin (3-1) got the win, while Romero (0-2) took the loss. Jimmy Cordero earned his third save of the season.\n\n\n<p>For the Leones, Erik Gonz\u00e1lez stood out with a triple and two runs scored; H\u00e9ctor Rodr\u00edguez contributed with a run batted in and a run scored, and Jorge Mateo added a run batted in. For the Estrellas, \u00c1ngel Mart\u00ednez hit a home run and Robinson Can\u00f3 hit a single.<\/p>\n\n\nWith this triumph, the Escogido improves its record to 9-12, while the Estrellas fall to 10-12.\n\nThe Lions return home this Wednesday to face the Tigres del Licey at 7:15 PM.","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Grant Gavin Shines on the Mound: Leones del Escogido Dominates Estrellas Orientales SAN PEDRO DE MACOR\u00cdS \u2013 Right-handed pitcher Grant Gavin starred in a masterful performance, leading the Leones del Escogido to a 3-1 victory over the Estrellas Orientales at the Tetelo Vargas stadium.
