Winter Leagues: Connor MacDonald and Elvis Escobar Homer

Action from the last three days of winter ball below. There were no games of interest on Monday. Seven Pittsburgh Pirates were still playing as of Tuesday, though one saw his season end that day.

Tuesday

In game three of the Venezuelan league finals, Elvis Escobar went 1-for-4 with a solo homer in his team’s 8-3 win. Going into the eighth inning, Lara trailed 3-0. Escobar hit the second of three solo homers in the inning to tie the score. It was his first home run in 69 games this off-season and it came off of Logan Darnell, a southpaw (Escobar bats lefty) with Major League experience.
