2013 Caribbean Series: Day Six

Day six of the 2013 Caribbean Series which is being held at the new Sonora Stadium (Estadio Sonora) in Hermosillo, Mexico and the Dominican Republic clinched a spot in the Series Final coming back from a 2 run deficit vs Mexico last night with a 7 run 8th inning winning by a final score of 11-6. This resulted in a 3 way tie for the 2nd best record between Mexico, Venezuela and Puerto Rico as we enter the final day of the Round Robin. The first tiebreaker to determine teams that advance to the final is head-to-head matchups; the second is run differential.

Additional Note: I just wanted to point out that New York Mets Jordany Valdespin has carried his hot bat during the Round Robin of the Dominican League that saw him hit successfully in all 17 games he appeared in into this Dominican League Series. After going 0 for 4 in game 1 Valdespin has had a hit in the next 4 games the last 3 being multi-hit games. Over his last 4 games he has 7/H, 19/AB, .368/BA, 1/2B, 1/HR, 3/RBI, 5/R, 1/BB, 1/SO, 1/SB.
