The extended game between Nicaragua and Puerto Rico began with no death for first and second base runners.

Nicaragua hit first in the top of the 10th inning with no hits and a double. Shortstop Brandon Layton started and chopped one above Puerto Rican pitcher Freddie Cabrera. Osbald Martinez made a great dive stop, kicking the runner out in second place and finishing first and third with one death. I robbed you. The first run came in on the wild pitch, and after a walk and another wild pitch, Nicaragua led a sacrifice fly 7-5 to the left.

Puerto Rico returned a goal in the second half of the inning with a sacrifice bunt and ground out, but Nicaragua’s Shader Garcia jumped into Martinez’s centerfield to end the ball game. When all was over, Puerto Rico had 12 men. I left the man at the base.
