Erick was crucial in the win the versus Belen, as he went 2-for-4 and led the game the entire game in RBI’s. That’s when junior Erick Lopez clutched up and hit a blast to center field for a bases clearing double. With one out and runners on first and third, Belen decided to try and go for the double play, so they intentionally walked the following batter to load the bases. A fly ball to the outfield led to the runner on second advancing to third. Patience paid off for the Lions, as they we’re able to draw two walks to begin the inning. Salvade got through the rest of the inning and got through a scoreless second inning to hold the game to 1-0, but when the third came around, the Lions began to attack. In the following at-bat, freshman Yodelkis Quevedo hit a sacrifice fly ball to right field to score the game’s first run. Salvade walked a pair, then a base hit by senior Lion Eduardo Morales loaded up the bases with two outs. The game began with early action, as the Lions scored in the first inning. Salvade went three innings, giving up four runs, and only three hits, with one strikeout, and Estevez went 3.1 innings, striking out six and giving up only one earned run.
