A good day for Drew Butera.
AGUILAS 11, ORIENTE 3 IN ORIENTE

Game summary: Oriente led 3-2 after six. Aguilas scored six in the seventh and three in the eighth.

ESTE 5, ESCOGIDO 1 IN ESCOGIDO
Game summary: Este scored two in the first and was never threatened. The lone Escogido run came in the eighth when Este led 5-0.

Escogido: Ramon Santiago (Detroit) was 2-for-4 with an RBI. Jordany Valdespin (Mets) was 1-for-3 with a double and a walk.
I suppose it's a little sad when 1-2 with a walk in the Dominican League qualifies as a good day at the plate for the MLB backup.
And he had a double and walk yesterday! Hot streak.
