🇰🇭 An Thu's second hit of the night added another run to the 🔱 #Neptunes score, but if you think this is over, you haven't been paying much attention.
🇹🇰 Amosa Morilla goes for #COPMUN1906 immortality as he faces Dermot Mount (✳️ #JinetesTOB), Crampton, and Johns.
A postseason slide showing how the eight Serie Eliminatoria match-ups went. In Liga Betances, Naguabo swept San Juan, three games to none. It's the only sweep: Cabo Rojo won over Canóvanas, Patillas over Río Grande, and Camuy over Salinas, all going the distance of five games. In Hostos, Toa Baja swept Barceloneta, and Ponce took four games to dispatch Guayama, but Gurabo went the distance against Quebradillas and so went Carolina against San Germán.

Here's how the second round of the 1905 postseason shook out.
So far, it's shaping up for a 🧭 #NavegadoresNAG vs. ✳️ #JinetesTOB rematch, if their postseason record is anything to go by . . . but we have a hunch we'll be seeing the 🦁 #SeñoresPON in the national championship.
Noted big boy 🇰🇷 Min-soo Kim, in his postseason debut, hits a long triple to RF to score Balk; Kim himself came in on a Ham Underwood base hit.
In the bottom half, 🇹🇳 LHP Karim Anbar enters and strands. The. Bases. Loaded.

The rare win-win interdivisional trade. Toa Alta gets a bat the Jinetes have no need of, and in return get a key piece of sustainability.
Our first post on our new home is up!
Despite the rise of several superteams—the #QuesiterosISA 🧀, the #NavegadoresNAG 🧭, the #MurciélagosCAM 🦇 and #JinetesTOB ✳️—the 1903 postseason promises to be just as chaotic as usual.
Read all about it:
9/5/1903:
The #NavegadoresNAG 🧭 need a talk.
They're 1-4 in September, which means they've lost more games in five days than they did in all of July.
Their stellar 92-33 record is, for the first time this season, second-best to the #JinetesTOB ✳️ and their 93 wins.
