[Note from Jayne: Due to unforeseen circumstances (i.e., life), I won't be posting the winter league cumulative stats until Tuesday. In other news, my bathroom remodeling is almost complete!]

12/13 Games

Seattle 6, Magallanes 5

Magallanes led 5-2 at stretch time, but the Mariners rallied to score 4 unanswered to walk off with a win.

C Ernesto Genoves: 1-4, solo HR (1)

Tiburones 13, Caracas 1

Caracas might have scored first, but it was all Tiburones in this one, as they put up a baker's dozen. All 13 of those runs were unanswered.

Tiburones
SS Alex Gonzalez: 2-3, RBI, R, BB; unfortunately, it was a rough day in the field for him, as he was charged with 3 errors.

Bravos 13, Tampa Bay 2

Bravos scored the first 13 runs of the game as they absolutely mauled the Rays' Venezuelan contingent.

Bravos
RF Carlos Perdomo: 3-6, 2 R; This is the first time I've ever seen a box score that has him as a starting outfielder. Has this happened before? According to his Baseball-Reference page, Perdomo has made 1 appearance in right field; that occurred in 2009, when he was playing for the VSL Phillies.

11/14 Games

Bravos 11, Detroit 10

Perdomo also saw time in the outfield in this game; he started the game at 2nd, then shifted over to LF later on. As for the game, Bravos outlasted the Tigers in a shootout.

2B/LF Carlos Perdomo: 0-4, RBI, R, BB
