Rafuse Homers Twice in 9-5 Win
The Yabucoa Dulceros defeated the Villalba Mercaderes, 9-5, at Estadio de Villalba. Yabucoa was led by 32-year old first baseman Dave Rafuse, who hit 2 home runs. He scored 3 times and drove in 2. The winning pitcher was Jesús López. His record now stands at 6-1. The right-hander went 9 innings, allowing 5 runs on 13 hits for the Dulceros. The Mercaderes, now 10-18, continue their poor start.

Yabucoa used a well-timed hit by Bibiano Sarabia to capture the win. The right fielder socked a run-scoring double in the top of the first inning to put the Dulceros ahead, 2-0. Though it was his only hit in 5 at-bats, it was important.

"It was our day today," Sarabia told the Yabucoa Times. "But we've got to keep our nose to the grindstone."
