Aragua finally defeated as Ponce pounds Tigres, 9-1
After clinching the Caribbean Series title Friday night, Venezuela’s Aragua Tigres might be forgiven if they were off their game Saturday afternoon. Puerto Rico League MVP Jorge Padilla smashed a three-run homer in a nine-run third inning for Ponce in the Leones’ 9-1 rout of the Tigres. It was Puerto Rico’s second straight Caribbean Series win after losing eleven straight games dating to 2007.
Aragua starter Brad Knox was rocked for eight runs in 2.2 frames. The loss was Venezuela’s first of the CS as the Tigres finished 5-1. Ponce ended at 2-4.
Licey ends Series with win over Mazatlan
Salvador Paniagua cracked a two-run homer and Ronny Paulino added a solo blast to lead the Licey Tigres to a 4-2 win over the Mazatlan Venados in the Series-ending game Saturday night in Mexicali. Christian Quintero drove in both Mexican runs. Mazatlan finished second with a 3-3 record, while Licey was 2-4.
Mazatlan played without brothers Edgar and Adrian Gonzalez in the lineup. Edgar led the CS with a .458 average, while Adrian led all batters with three homers and eight RBIs.
Final Standings
Aragua (DR) Tigres 5-1, Mazatlan (MX) Venados 3-3, Ponce (PR) Leones 2-4, Licey (DR) Tigres 2-4.
