An explosive start in the first episode marked the path to victory for the Leones del Escogido, who prevailed 7-3 over the \u00c1guilas Cibae\u00f1as this Friday at the Quisqueya Juan Marichal stadium.<\/p>\n
The scarlet offensive ignited from the start with a solo home run by H\u00e9ctor Rodr\u00edguez, sending the ball 392 feet to right field against Luis Pati\u00f1o’s pitches. Yainer D\u00edaz reached base on a fielder’s choice, Yamaico Navarro singled, Franchy Cordero received a walk to load the bases, and finally, consecutive walks to Eguy Rosario and Jonathan Guzm\u00e1n drove in two more runs.<\/p>\n
The Eagles tried to react in the fourth inning, loading the bases against Travis Lakins. A sacrifice fly by Juan Lagares drove in Aderlin Rodr\u00edguez, and a single by Webster Rivas added another run for the Cibae\u00f1os.<\/p>\n
However, the Lions responded immediately in the bottom of the fourth. Dervy Ventura hit a double to left field and scored thanks to a single by Junior Lake. Socrates Brito reached base on a fielder’s choice, stole second and advanced to third on a throwing error by catcher Rivas, before scoring on a single to center by Yainer D\u00edaz.<\/p>\n
In this game, Junior Lake reached a personal milestone by becoming the fifth player in LIDOM history to steal 130 bases in regular season play.<\/p>\n
El Escogido scored one more run in the seventh inning and another in the eighth to secure the victory, improving their record to 17-24, while the \u00c1guilas remained at 28-12.<\/p>\n
G\u00e9nesis Cabrera (1-0) earned the victory, pitching a scoreless inning with a strikeout. The loss went to Luis Pati\u00f1o (0-1), who allowed three runs in two-thirds of an inning.<\/p>\n
Regarding the Lions’ offense, Yainer D\u00edaz stood out, batting 5-2 with one RBI and one run scored; H\u00e9ctor Rodr\u00edguez, 5-1 with a home run, one run scored, and one RBI; Junior Lake, 3-1 with one RBI, one run scored, two walks, and one stolen base; and S\u00f3crates Brito, 4-1 with a run scored, a walk, and a steal. For the Eagles, Aderlin Rodr\u00edguez went 5-3 with one RBI and one run scored, and Webster Rivas, 4-1 with one RBI.<\/p>\n
