[Sport] Las Águilas respond with Francisco Peña's club and avoid falling against the wall

[EvKirito]

Not so fast Giants. The yellow bat that was missing in the first two games appeared on Wednesday at the Julián Javier and the Eagles prevailed 6-3, their first win in the final series of the 2020-2021 fall-winter championship.

Francisco Peña hit a home run, double and single, drove in two laps and hit base four times to lead the nine-hitter offense. From the mound, Andy Otero threw 5.1 innings of just three hits and two walks with four strikeouts to contain the Duarthian bats.

The fourth game will take place next Friday from 7:00 pm at Cibao Park. This Thursday is a free day.

A game full of alternative, where Juan Francisco reached 30 home runs in the postseason to join Miguel Tejada (36) and Tony Batista (33) as the only members of the club.

 

 

The victory was for Otero, the setback for Chris Ellis and the save corresponded to Gregory Soto.

Juan Lagares shot two doubles in four at-bats and Rangel Ravel was 4-2. For the colts, Francisco and Peter O'Brien went to the streets.

The races

The guinea pigs took the lead of the match in the second inning. Robel Garcia walked, Francisco Peña moved him to third base with a single to center field and Edmundo Sosa grounded him to shortstop.

In the fifth, the yellows stepped on the rubber again. Peña received a transfer, Sosa struck out, Jonathan Villar rolled for the initial that moved the runner and Juan Lagares drove in a double to the left against Ellis for 2-0.

The visit expanded the score in the seventh. Peña started the inning with a double to left, Sosa touched and got safely thanks to a wrong pitch by pitcher Yenrry de los Santos that allowed the run to score. Sosa moved to third on a balk from the pitcher and scored with another irregular move. The leader Luis Urueta protested the call and was expelled by the second referee, Nelson de la Cruz.

The Northeast reaction came in the seventh with solo homers in a row by Juan Francisco and Peter O'Brien. Then, Richard Ureña struck out, Carlos Paulino dispatched unstoppable through the middle of the field, which decreed the exit of Michael Tonkin. Marcos Diplán went up to pitch, who immediately transferred Abiatal Avelino and José Sirí to fill the bases, Ronald Guzmán rolled from the initial that led to the third race. He climbed the Naftalí Feliz mound, which ended the game by dominating Kelvin Gutiérrez with a roll at his hands.
