The Ponce Leones and Arecibo Lobos are set to face each other for the Puerto Rico League championship after both clubs easily won their first round playoff series last week. Ponce swept Mayaguez in four games to move to the finals, while Arecibo bested Santurce, 4 games to 1, to advance to the Puerto Rican Series.
Ponce broke out the brooms after topping Mayaguez, 6-3, last Monday night as Joe Thurston doubled home the go-ahead runs with two out in the top of the ninth. Pitcher of the Year Dillon Gee allowed two Indios runs in 5.1 innings, but did not get the decision.
One night later, Arecibo eliminated Santurce by beating the Cangrejeros, 6-3, as Raul Casanova, Jesus Feliciano and Jorge Padilla each homered for the Lobos.
