Results for Sunday, January 5
LIGA VENEZUELA BEISBOL PROFESIONAL
Caracas 11, La Guaira 1
Caracas scored 8 runs in their final 2 innings (capped by a Bobby Abreu grand slam) to turn a 3-1 game into a laugher. Jesus Guzman hit a solo home run for the 2nd straight game.
Leones del Caracas
1B Jesus Guzman: 1-5, solo HR (2), 2 K
Anzoátegui 6, Zulia 4
Caribes has emerged from the first weekend of round-robin play as the only undefeated team. They took the lead with a 3-run 8th inning.
Águilas del Zulia
DH Marwin Gonzalez: 0-4
AUSTRALIAN BASEBALL LEAGUE
Adelaide 6, Canberra 5
Joe Sclafani came through late as he drove in the go-ahead run with a 2-out RBI single in the top of the 9th. He then proceeded to steal 2nd, but was stranded there to end the inning. The hit extended his hitting streak to 7 games.
Adelaide Bite
SS Joe Sclafani: 1-4, RBI single in 9th, R, BB, SB (10)
Perth 13, Melbourne 11 in 10 innings
This was a wild one, alright. The Heat scored 5 runs in the 1st before they recorded an out, then added another run in the 3rd to make it a 6-1 game. Melbourne scored 1 in the 1st, then stormed back to tie with 4 in the 3rd and 1 more in the 4th. After a brief lull, Perth regained the lead, only to see the Aces force extra innings. The Heat finally put Melbourne away with a pair in the 10th, and Cameron Lamb set them down in order to end it.
Perth Heat
RHP Cameron Lamb: BS (2), W (2-0), 1.2 IP, K; He inherited a bases-loaded situation in the bottom of the 9th, and 2 of those runners scored. Lamb induced a force out, and one run scored, but an error on the play allowed the tying run to come home.
LIGA MEXICANA DEL PACIFICO
Hermosillo 8, Guasave 3 (Hermosillo leads 3-1)
Guasave briefly took the lead with 2 in the 5th, only to see that vanish when Hermosillo responded for 3 in the top of the 6th. The Cotton Growers got a run back to make it a 1-run game, but they allowed 4 unanswered runs, and now, they're in win-or-go-home mode. Edgar Gonzalez, the 100% Mexican, was 1 out shy of a bare minimum quality start.
Naranjeros de Hermosillo
RHP Edgar Gonzalez: W (1-0), 5.2 IP, 6 H, 3 ER, 2 BB, 3 K; I have no idea how I've forgotten 100% Mexican in my recaps. I honestly don't know.
Algodoneros de Guasave
RF Leo Heras: 0-1, 2 BB
DH Japhet Amador: 0-2
Culiacán was swept out of the playoffs with a 7-3 loss to Mexicali. Gonzalo Sanudo did not appear in any of the 4 games; my guess from out of left field is that he was shut down.
LIGA DE BEISBOL DOMINICANO
Escogido (6-2) comes out of this weekend with a 2-game cushion over Licey (4-4), while the two teams from Cibao are 3-5.
Licey 3, Águilas 1
Águilas' offense just couldn't get going. They got a run in the 7th, but failed to convert with runners on 2nd and 3rd in the 8th inning.
Águilas Cibaeñas
SS Jonathan Villar: 0-1, K; entered game as a pinch-runner in the 7th, then stayed in at shortstop.
Escogido 4, Gigantes 2 in 11 innings
Escogido got a game-tying homer in the 8th from Nationals CF Eury Perez, then took the lead with 2 in the 11th. Jorge De Leon struck out the side in order in the 8th.
Leones del Escogido
RHP Jorge De Leon: IP, 3 K
LIGA DE BEISBOL PROFESIONAL ROBERTO CLEMENTE (PUERTO RICO)
