Estope used a nine run 5th inning to defeat West Guiana for the second time this tournament. Estope played form behind for much of the first part of the game but were able to come back and dominate the latter portion of the game. At the plate, Estope stepped up by scoring nine runs in the 5th inning and were able to rely on their relief pitchers to close the game. Estope pitcher Garrett Masser did not play very well and allowed all six runs. However he was still able to earn the win. This has been a rough tournament for him as he has allow 13 runs in only seven innings. The bullpen on the other hand put together yet another masterful performance and provided no opportunities for West Guiana to get back into the game. Relief pitchers Noel Pelot and Colin Noakes allowed no hits in three innings of work. This win and a loss by Taeshan moves Estope into a tie for first in the group but would be second by virtue of the head to head tiebreaker. A win tomorrow would leave Estope with a comfortable lead over the rest of the group members and put them into position to advance. Tomorrow Estope will host Lymantatia. Estope won the first encounter on the road but Lymantatia is coming off a string of impressive victories. They are playing their best ball right now so Estope will have to come out focused and ready to play. Estope ace Eric Almanzastart will start for his third game. The coaches feel confident he will come out rested and ready to go even though he has played so much over the past week.
