A quick note regarding the IBAF 21U World Cup: I've been informed by Ian Madden, Lachlan Madden's father, that Australia did qualify for the super round-robin stage of the tournament, as the top 3 teams in each group in the opening round advanced. I got thrown off because it was an 11-team tournament and didn't know if the top 2 advanced or the top 3.
The tournament continues tomorrow with the Super Round Robin. Team Australia will take on the hosts,
ARIZONA FALL LEAGUE
Please forgive my laziness. Also, I'm in a bit of a rush this morning. Here is Mr. Wallee Wright's eyewitness report of yesterday's game, which ended in a 4-4 tie between Salt River and Peoria.
In the penultimate game of the AFL season, the Rafters will host Glendale in the late game. First pitch is at 6:35 Mountain.
LIGA VENEZOLANA DE BÉISBOL PROFESIONAL
Caracas 4, Lara 2
The capital club got 3 in the top of the 8th to break a 1-1 tie. L.J. Hoes went 2-5 out of the leadoff spot, while Danry Vásquez finished 0-4.
Caracas will now spend the next couple of days in Maracaibo as they face Zulia. First pitch is at 7:30 Venezuelan time.
LIGA PARALELA
Caracas 9, Tampa Bay 5
Nestor Tejada got the start in LF for Caracas and finished 2-5.
The Little Lions will host Lara later this morning at 11:00 A.M. Venezuelan time.
LIDOM
Licey 4, Estrellas 1
After a bit of a slow start to the fall/winter, Domingo Santana seems to be getting back up to speed. He finished 1-4 and is now working on a modest 3-game hitting streak.
Licey will now begin a home-and-away tilt with Gigantes. The away portion is first; first pitch is at 7:30 Atlantic.
Toros 8, Águilas 5
5 Águilas errors doomed them in this one. I never played baseball, but... if your team's run and error totals are the same, then that's usually not a good sign.
Big night for Jonathan Villar, as he finished 3-4 with 2 solo homers and 3 runs scored for Águilas. Those 2 blasts are his first of the LIDOM campaign.
For Toros, Teoscar Hernandez entered the game as a pinch-runner for Tommy Medica in the 8th and came around to score. He remained in the game at LF and did not appear at the plate.
Change of venue; Toros will host Águilas at 7:30 Atlantic.
LIGA MEXICANA DEL PACÍFICO
Jalisco 11, Hermosillo 2
Leo Heras absolutely wrecked Hermosillo pitching with a 3-homer night, his 2nd multi-homer game of the LMP season. He opened up the scoring with a solo shot in the 4th and then proceeded to club a 3-run homer in the 7th, and he topped off his outstanding performance with a 2nd solo shot in the 9th. The 3 homers give him 7 on the year, putting him in 2nd place behind Japhet Amador's 9 blasts.
Jalisco and Hermosillo will play again at 7:30 Mountain.
LIGA DE BÉISBOL PROFESIONAL ROBERTO CLEMENTE
Santurce 4, Mayagüez 1
Delino DeShields finished 2-3 for Santurce as they got 2 runs in the 3rd and 4th innings to top Mayagüez.
Tonight, Santurce will play host to Caguas. First pitch is at 7:30 Atlantic.
San Juan 5, Carolina 4 in 10 innings
For Carolina, Carlos Corporán finished 1-4 before he was lifted for a pinch-runner, Jobduan Morales, in the 6th. Morales, who remained in the game as the DH, went 0-1.
Nolan Fontana was San Juan's DH and finished 0-3 with a sac fly in the 2nd.
San Juan will return to action tomorrow when they host Carolina again. Carolina, on the other hand, will be in Mayagüez tonight for a game at 7:30 Atlantic.
