Esparza Helps Poetas Beat Criollos, 18-4
Toa Alta and Caguas took Mother Nature's best shot and still managed to complete their ballgame.

The Toa Alta Poetas downed the Caguas Criollos, 18-4, at Parque de los Criollos. The Poetas were led by Javier Esparza. He was 4 for 7 with a double and 3 singles, while scoring 2 times and driving in 4. Lorenzo García was the winner. Over 9 innings, he allowed 4 runs on 10 hits, with no walks and 4 strikeouts.

The Poetas got a big hit from pitcher Lorenzo García. In the top of the seventh, García pounded a bases-clearing triple to left. His 1st triple of the season put the Poetas ahead, 17-1.

"The clubhouse can get insufferable after we lose, so I'm glad we pulled this one out today," Esparza told the Toa Alta Times.

Caguas, now 2-9, has gotten off to a terrible start.
