Dominican Winter League Round Robin (LIDOM)

Leones del Escogido 7 – 1 Toros del Este
Estrellas Orientales 5 – 3 Tigres del Licey

Working back to back days, Pobereyko was brought into the game in the top of the eight inning with one out and the bases loaded with the Estrellas holding onto a 5-1 lead. While he was able to strike out the first batter he faced, Erick Mejia, a walk to Emilio Bonifacio and a single up the middle by Erick Aybar did allow two inherited runners to score in the inning. He would get Hanley Ramirez to ground out to end the inning though and walked away with his league leading third hold of the post-season.

Indios de Mayaguez 7 – 4 Gigantes de Carolina

Another day, another save for Joshua Torres who converted his fifth save in five straight appearances giving him a league leading total of twelve for the season and post-season combined. After a strong season in (AA) Binghamton, he continues to set himself up for a promotion to (AAA) Syracuse as well as an outside shot at possibly contributing to the MLB later in 2019.
