CARIBBEAN SERIES: Day Three (Feb. 4, 2009)

Finally, the bats wake up. After Aragua lifted their record to 3-0 Wednesday afternoon with a win over Ponce, Adrian Gonzalez crushed three homers as Mazatlan held on to beat Licey, 12-9. It wasn't pretty, but it WAS entertaining.

Venezuelans go to 3-0 with win over Ponce
The bottom of the order carried the Aragua Tigres to a 5-2 win over Ponce Wednesday afternoon in Mexicali. Number eight hitter Alex Delgado had two hits and two RBIs, while number nine batsman Ramon Castro whacked a two-out, two-run single in the second. Starter Horacio Estrada got the win for Aragua.
Ponce first baseman Raul Gonzalez singled and doubled and went on to score both runs for the Puerto Ricans.


Lights Out: Gonzalez crushes 3 HRs as Mazatlan tops Licey
Adrian Gonzalez blasted three homers and drove in four runs to key a 16-hit outburst as the Mazatlan Venados outlasted defending Caribbean Series champion Licey, 12-9, Wednesday night. Jose Bautista belted a two-run homer in a four-run third inning for the Tigres, but the Dominicans committed five errors in the field.
The game was delayed by a long power outage following the fifth inning. Gonzalez drilled his second homer of the game shortly after play resumed.
