their championship series back in May, and through two innings the game was
deadlocked at 2-2. But in the third inning, the Indians would burst through
with 4 runs. They used stifling defense to suffocate the Tigers and did not
surrender any more runs over the last three innings and ended up winning 8-2.

hit. While Norlan Trana, Wilbert Munoz, and Jelson Mendoza tallied 2 hits a
piece to lead the Indians.

the Tigers, but all the attention will be on the game featuring the Padres and
Indians. The first time they played the Indians won the game but had to forfeit
because only seven of their players showed up to play. The Padres will try and
keep their perfect record unblemished.

previous week and they came out with vengeance and unfortunately for the
Cardinals they were the recipients. As a team, the Athletics had eleven hits

off the bottom of the first with laser homerun to tie the game 1-1. The game
stayed tied until the top of the third when the Braves would score 2. The
Braves seemed to be cruising with a comfortable 4-1 lead heading into the
bottom of the fifth, but the Rangers used wild pitching to cut the deficit to
only 1 going into the final inning. The Braves being cool, calm and collective
rattled off 4 runs in the top half and their closer shut down the Rangers in
bottom half to give the Braves an 8-3 victory.
Next Week:
The Braves look to stay undefeated against a feisty
Cardinals team and the Athletics look to keep their bats going against the
Rangers.

Game: Red Sox of Quitanca vs Yankees of
Santa Matilde
The most anticipated game of the day lived up to the billing
as these two teams battled until the final out. The Red Sox were the first to
get on board when they scored 1 run in the top of the third. The Yankees would respond
with 3 of their own to lead 3-1. Their lead was short lived as the Red Sox took
advantage of a crucial error to give themselves an extra out and they scored 4
to lead 5-3 after three and a half innings of play. The Yankees would score 2
more over the next three innings and the Red Sox would only add 1 as the score
was 6-5 heading into the final inning. Kevin Reyes faked out the Yankees with a
fake squeeze attempt that he pulled back and looped a ball to where the
shorstop would have been and the Red Sox padded their lead to 8-5. In turned
out the Red Sox wouldn’t need the extra runs as the Yankees couldn’t get
anything going in the bottom of the seventh and fell for the first time of the
season.
Game: Giants of Nuevo Amanacer vs Reds of
Candelaria
After taking a quick 2-0 lead in the top of the first, the
Giants nor the Reds did much over the first four innings of play as Joel
Vilchez of the Giants absolutely shut down the Reds’ offense. The Reds finally
broke threw in the fifth with a run only to see it answered in the sixth by the
Giants. Yet, it was Isaias Perira who brought the game level with his 2 run
triple in the bottom of the sixth and the score was 3-3 going into the seventh.
The Giants would score a run and seemed to be on their way to winning as the
game stood at 4-3 after six and half innings played. After having the first
batter strike out, the Reds’ Luis Santana and Pedro Davilla came through with
hits and were on second and third with only one out. Allan Marenco, not known
for his bat, stepped to the plate and came through in the clutch with a
perfectly hit fly to short right field which fell in between the right fielder,
second baseman, and first baseman. The play at the plate was tight but the
runner slid under the tag and the ump called safe as the Reds ended the day
with a walkoff thriller.
Next Week:
The Reds will try to use their momentum to propel themselves
over the Yankees and the Red Sox seek revenge on the Giants.
