For their part, the Estrellas Orientales are in fifth place with a record of 16-22.\n\n<h2>Early Attack and Constant Reaction<\/h2>\n\nThe Giants relied on the power of Deyvison de los Santos, who hit a two-run home run, and Nomar Mazara, with a solo home run, keeping the team&#8217;s offense active during the game.\n\nThe Estrellas took the lead with a score of 2-0 in the first inning, extending their advantage with a home run by Mazara in the third. However, the Gigantes responded with De los Santos&#8217; two-run homer, closing the score to 6-3.\n\nA three-run rally in the sixth inning allowed the Giants to tie the game 6-6. Later, a single by Carlos Peguero, as a pinch hitter, drove in the run that put the Giants ahead 7-6 in the seventh.\n\n<h2>Stars Tie, But Fail to Score<\/h2>\n\nThe Stars came back in the eighth inning. A sacrifice fly by Miguel San\u00f3 brought the tying run 7-7, but they failed to score the winning run despite having a runner on third base with one out.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Tenth Episode: Decisive Uncontrol<\/h2>\n\n\nIn extra innings, Luis Garc\u00eda Jr. started on second base as the automatic runner. After an out, a wild pitch by Weigel moved him to third, and another passed ball allowed the run that decided the game.\n\nDown below, Reymin Gudu\u00e1n took the ball with Robinson Can\u00f3 as a ghost runner. A line drive by Josh Lester to center ended in a double play after review, and then Jorge Mateo was grounded out by the third baseman to end the game.\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Mound Performance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Won: Anderson Pilar (2-2)<\/li><li>Lost: Patrick Weigel (1-2)<\/li><li>Saved: Reymin Guduan<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Featured Players of the Match<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Gigantes del Cibao:<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Deyvison de los Santos: Two-run HR<\/li><li>Nomar Mazara: Solo HR<\/li><li>Kelvin Guti\u00e9rrez: Key hit in the three-run rally<\/li><li>Carlos Peguero: RBI single to take the lead<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><b>Estrellas Orientales:<\/b><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Rodolfo Dur\u00e1n: two-run double<\/li><li>Miguel San\u00f3: game-tying sacrifice fly<\/li><li>Nomar Mazara: HR<\/li><\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SAN PEDRO DE MACOR\u00cdS \u2013 Los Gigantes del Cibao extended their winning streak to four consecutive games, after defeating the Estrellas Orientales with a score of 8-7 in a vibrant encounter that extended to ten innings at the Tetelo Vargas Stadium last Sunday.
