PONCE WINS NAILBITER TO GO UP 2-1 PUERTO RICAN SERIES

Luis Matos scored on a Fernando Cortez sacrifice fly to left in the bottom of the second inning to give the Ponce a 1-0 lead over Arecibo Wednesday night, and the Leones had to make that margin stand up the rest of the way to win Game Three and take a 2 games to 1 lead in the Puerto Rico League championship series. Javier Vazquez scattered four hits and struck out six Arecibo batters in 6.1 innings to take the win for the Leones.


Ponce won the opener, 2-1, as Miguel Abreu scored on a 10th inning error, while Rene Rivera’s two homers keyed Arecibo’s 9-4 victory in Game Two of the best-of-7 series.
