Mayaguez Recaps: Game Four

MAYAGUEZ 8, RA12 0 AT RA12

Batting stars:  Henry Ramos was 3-for-4 with two doubles, a walk, and two runs.  Danny Ortiz was 2-for-4 with two doubles.  T. J. Rivera was 2-for-4 with a home run (his second), a walk, and two RBIs.  Jeremy Rivera was 2-for-4 with a double and two runs.

Pitching stars:  Luis Medina struck out six in three innings, giving up a hit and two walks.  Six relief pitchers each pitched a scoreless inning:  Jean Cosme, Luis Quinones, Nefi Ogando, Braden Hagens, Jacob Condra-Bogan, and Nicholas Padilla.

Opposition star:  Kenen Irizarry was 3-for-4.

The game:  Mayaguez scored one in the first, two in the third, and then one in each of the fourth, fifth, sixth, eighth, and ninth.

WP:  Cosme (1-0).  LP:  Juan Santos (0-1).  S:  None.

Notes:  Ramos is batting .500.  Ortiz and Rivera are each batting .412.  Rivera, Christian Sojo, and Xavier Fernandez are each batting .333.  Kennys Vargas was 1-for-3 with a double and two walks and is batting .308.

Medina, Quinones, Ogando, Condra-Bogan, and Padilla each has an ERA of zero.

I don't know who "RA12" is or why they're called "RA12".  This was a home game for them and it was played in Hiram Bithorn Stadium, so I assume they're based in San Juan.

Record:  Mayaguez is 4-0, tied for first with Caguas.

Next game:  Mayaguez hosts RA12 today.
