The Ponce Leones finished the Caribbean Series with a pair of wins after combining with past Puerto Rico League champions to lose eleven straight games dating back to 2006. Ponce scored just six runs over their first four games this year, all losses, before notching three against Licey on Friday and nine more against Aragua on Saturday to end up at 2-4.
Luis Figueroa batted .389, Carlos Rivera hit .360 and Andy Gonzalez finished at .333, but Puerto Rico League MVP Jorge Padilla batted just .182 while MLB veteran catcher Raul Casanova hit .091 (going 1 for 11). Pitcher Josue Matos hurled five shutout innings in Ponce’s 3-0 whitewashing of Licey Friday, while Giancarlo Alvarado won Saturday’s game over Aragua. Alvarado struck out 16 batters in 11.2 innings for manager Eduardo Perez’ club.
