GCL Marlins (6-5) maul GCL Mets (2-8) 10-6.

Using 7 pitchers, none with outstanding performances, giving up 6 runs in the bottom of the 8^th to surrender the lead, but scoring 5 in the top of the 9^th to regain it, Luis Carreno blows the save, but gets the win, and then Gregorix Estevez gives up only a BB in the bottom of the 9^th for the save.

Miguel Leal: 2-4, 3B, 2B, BB, 3 RBI, R.

Jose Maria: 4-4, HR, 2 2B, 4 RBI, 2 R.
