Vejigantes Rally to Tally 8-7 Win
Carolina right fielder Emérico Pérez had a good game in a losing cause. His team fell, 8-7, to Loiza at Estadio de los Vejigantes. Pérez was 2 for 4 with 2 singles and a walk. He scored 2 times. Eufemio Martínez closed it out for his 3rd save. The Gigantes fall to 6-12 and continue their uninspiring start to the 1897 season.

With two out in the bottom of the eighth, Raúl Ruiz had a game-changing hit. The Vejigantes pinch hitter slammed a run-scoring single off Abilio López, making the score 8-7, Loiza.

"It wasn't our best performance," said Ruiz, "but a win in this league is nothing to sniff at."
