11/24 LIDOM Recap: Los Toros and Los Leones Play Two

With the Aguilas Cibaenas and Tigres del Licey canceled due to rain, Los Toros and the Leones del Escogido was the only game going on yesterday as they played a day/night doubleheader.

The Leones would strike first with a solo shot by Seattle Mariners prospect Luis Liberate.

Los Toros were down most of the game until the 7th inning when former Rangers outfielder Engel Beltré hit a double, scoring former Marlins infielder/outfielder Jordany Valdespin to tie the game at 1.

Then in the 8th, after Tampa Bay Rays’ prospect Vidal Brujan reached on a fielder’s choice, former Brave Peter O’Brien would get his second hit of the game, a two-run home run to left to give the Toros the lead.

That’s all the Toros would need as they won the first game 3-2 in extra innings. Yankees starter Domingo German went five innings, allowing just one home run and three hits.

In the night game, Brujan went 2-for-3 as Los Toros won in a 2-0 shutout. The bullpen for the Los Toros held the Leones to just one hit in the second game.
