• GAME #4 - Caguas 4; RA12 2
• SERIES: Caguas defeats RA12; 4-0

BOXSCORE 1/7/2021  The top-seeded Criollos de Caguas played up to their standing, defeating fourth seed RA12 in four straight.  Designated hitter Miguel Amaya with two outs and the bases loaded in the third inning, doubled to left, giving Caguas a 3-0 lead from which RA12 would not recover.  First baseman Jonathan Laureano put RA12 on the board in the third, and center fielder William Rivera scored in the fourth on a force play at second to bring the Roberto Alomar squad within one.  But that's as close as they'd get.  Los Criollos picked up an insurance run in the sixth en route to a 4-2 game four final and series sweep.  Caguas southpaw Giovanni Soto allowed two hits and two walks with four strikeouts over three innings pitched.  Six members of the bullpen joined together to limit RA12 to a pair of earned runs on five hits and five walks with ten strikeouts.  New York Mets farmhand Joshua Torres earned the save.

BOXSCORE - Los Criollos de Caguas take a two-game series lead over RA12, whitewashing the Roberto Alomar squad, 2-0, on Sunday at famous Hiram Bithorn Stadium in San Juan.  For the second game in a row, Mets farmhand Johneshwy Fargas drives home the first run of the game, this time with a sacrifice fly in the third inning scoring third baseman Edwin Diaz.  Playing right field, Fargas was 2 for 3 in the game.  Designated hitter Jonathan Morales led off the top of the fourth with a home run to left off RA12 starter and Mets farmhand Joel Huertas.  The Mets southpaw yielded two runs, one earned, on four hits and no walks with three strikeouts in a losing effort.  Caguas left-hander and Sunday's winning pitcher Hector Santiago allowed just two hits and two walks with six strikeouts through five scoreless innings pitched.  Reliever Fernando Cruz earned the save.  Throwing errors in two straight games by RA12 starting pitchers have proved pivotal in their losses.
