BOXSCORE 1/24/21 - Facing Mayagüez starter Nick Travieso, Caguas center fielder Jarren Duran leads off the game with a home run over the right field wall. In the third, Nick Travieso pitches himself into more trouble by issuing a lead-off walk to Jarren Duran, yielding a double to left fielder Jay Gonzalez, and hitting Yadier Molina with a pitch to load the bases. Travieso then walks first baseman Victor Caratini to force in a run. Los Indios get one back in the bottom of the third on a run batted in from center fielder Jack Lopez. Jay Gonzalez singles to lead off the fifth and promptly steals second. Afterwhich, Yadier Molina is again hit with a pitch. Third baseman Jose Miranda follows with a home run to left off Nick Travieso, giving Caguas a 5-1 lead. Indios catcher Xavier Fernandez drives in a run on a sac-fly in the bottom half of the frame, scoring Christian Colon from third. Caguas starter Giovanni Soto exits at this point after allowing two runs on three hits and two walks with six strikeouts through 4.2 innings pitched. However, Nick Travieso is taken off the hook when Mayagüez takes the lead in the seventh with a four-run outburst featuring a double and a run batted in from Xavier Fernandez, a two-run base hit from right fielder Henry Ramos, and the go-ahead run-scoring sac-fly from Jack Lopez. In the top of the ninth, Yadier Molina is hit by a pitch for the third time. In fact, it's the second hit by pitch of the inning by right-hander Yacksel Rios. Jose Miranda fanned swinging for the second out. Still, with two runners on base, first baseman Víctor Caratini hit a comebacker off Yacksel Rios and reached safely; on the play, Jarren Duran scores from third base with the tying run. Second baseman Vimael Machin then drives in the go-ahead run with a line-drive single to center. Los Criollos call upon right-hander Fernando Cruz to pitch the bottom of the ninth. Cruz answers the call retiring the side in order, striking out Henry Ramos to end the game. Five Criollos relievers join to yield three earned runs on four hits and one walk with four strikeouts over the final 4.1 innings pitched. New York Mets farmhand Joshua Torres earns the victory in relief. Fernando Cruz earns his second save of the series. The visiting Criollos clinch game four at Estadio Isidoro Cholo Garcia and sweep Los Indios de Mayagüez in four straight. Established in 1938 as a founding member of LBPRC, Los Criollos de Caguas win their record 19th Puerto Rican championship and first since seizing back-to-back league titles during the 2016-2018 seasons. Now it's onward to the Caribbean Series.
