<\/h3>\n\n\nSan Francisco de Macor\u00eds. \u2013<\/strong> Las \u00c1guilas Cibae\u00f1as clung to their aspirations of advancing to the Round Robin final by defeating the Gigantes del Cibao 9-3, supported by two explosive four-run rallies that set the course of the match held at the Juli\u00e1n Javier stadium.\n\nYou may be interested in: \u00c1guilas derrotan a los Toros y se acercan al segundo puesto del Round Robin<\/a>\n\nWith the triumph, the Eagles set their mark at 7-6 and tied in the standings with the Toros del Este, with only one day of action remaining before the semifinal break, which recesses this Monday and resumes on Tuesday.\n\nCuban Odrisamer Despaigne (1-0)<\/strong> had a successful debut in the Dominican league by working 5.2 innings of just two runs, guiding the Aguilas victory after arriving from the Mexican League.\n\nThe offensive was led by Cristhian Adames<\/strong>, who hit a solo home run, while Steward Berroa<\/strong> and Ezequiel Dur\u00e1n<\/strong> drove in two runs each.\n\n\n

Early rally made the difference<\/h3>\n\n\nThe Eagles took control of the game from the very first inning with a four-run rally against starting pitcher Bryan Rodr\u00edguez<\/strong>, capitalizing on a defensive error that opened the floodgates.\n\nAfter a walk to Berroa and an error by the first baseman Deyvison De los Santos after a hit by Adames, came the productive hits by Jerar Encarnaci\u00f3n<\/strong> and the two-run double by Dur\u00e1n<\/strong>, followed by a run-scoring single by Aderl\u00edn Rodr\u00edguez<\/strong>, to put the score at 4-0.\n\n\n

Giants react, but the Eagles sentence<\/h3>\n\n\nThe Giants scored with a solo home run by Diego Hernandez<\/strong> in the third and another in the sixth inning with a run-scoring single by De los Santos.\n\nHowever, the Eagles extinguished any attempt at a comeback with another four-run rally in the seventh inning. Adames opened with a home run against Luis Fr\u00edas<\/strong>, and after two outs, consecutive singles by Rodr\u00edguez and \u00c1ngel Genao<\/strong> prompted the pitcher's exit.\n\nSebasti\u00e1n Rivero<\/strong> drove in one with a single and Berroa<\/strong> cleared the bases with a triple, putting the score at 8-2 and sealing the game.\n\n\n
