Two out of three Twins play well, but an ex-Twin comes through in extra innings.

CAGUAS 5, MAYAGUEZ 4 IN CAGUAS (11 INNINGS)

Twins:  Eddie Rosario (Mayaguez) was 0-for-3 with a walk and an RBI.  Daniel Ortiz (Mayaguez) was 2-for-5 with a home run (his third) and two RBIs.  Kennys Vargas (Mayaguez) was used as a pinch-hitter and was 1-for-1.

Mayaguez:  Irving Falu (Milwaukee) was 4-for-6 with two doubles and two runs.  Randy Ruiz was 1-for-4 with a walk and an RBI.  Jeremy Kehrt (Boston) pitched four innings, giving up one run on five hits and one walk with two strikeouts.

Caguas:  Ramon Castro was 1-for-2 with a walk and a two-run homer, his second.  Miguel Abreu was 4-for-6 with an RBI.  Andres Santiago (Dodgers) pitched 2.2 perfect innings with one strikeout.

The game:  Each team scored once in the second.  Mayaguez took a 2-1 lead in the third when Falu doubled, went to third on a bunt, and scored on a sacrifice fly.  Each team scored once in the fifth.  Mayaguez got an insurance run in the sixth when Ortiz homered to make the score 4-2.  As sometimes happens, their insurance was not enough to cover them, because Castro hit a two-run homer in the ninth to tie the score at four.  In the eleventh, ex-Twin Aaron Bates led off with a double and Edgardo Baez was used as a pinch-runner.  Abreu singled him home to win the game for Caguas.
