It is quite in the baseball world here in America and has been for a while now. Things are heating up in the Caribbean Leagues though as they all are underway in the playoffs. Neftali Soto had a huge night on Friday to help lead his team to a win.
The game was a complete team win as they won 10-0 and the opponents had just two hits as things were working on both sides of the ball for Cangrejeros de Santucre. Leading the way on offense was cleanup hitter Neftali Soto. He went 4-4 with a double, three runs batted in and two runs.
It just continues a strong playoff run for Soto. The third baseman is now hitting .565 in the six games played so far in the Puerto Rican Winter League round robin playoff tournament. To go with a .565 average he also has four doubles, a triple, six runs batted in, four walks and four strikeouts. Unsurprisingly his 1.433 OPS is tops in the playoffs.
Felix Perez had a good night in Venezuela on Friday night as well. Hitting fifth for Caribes de Anzoategui he went 2-5 with two runs batted in as hit team went on to win 6-1.
