2025 54+ American

Caballeros 7, Orlando Red Sox 3

After defeating the Orlando Spartans in their first game of the 2025 MSBL Holiday Classic, the Caballeros lost to the All-Star Baseball Academy later in the day to end day one at 1-1.  The following day, they tied the Dayton Angels to stand at a very precarious 1-1-1 going into day three.

Heading into a must-win scenario, the Caballeros defeated the Westchester Pirates, 9-4, to earn a birth in the American division playoffs, where they defeated the Winnipesaukee Muskrats to punch their ticket to the championship game.  The Caballeros made the most of the opportunity with a convincing 7-3 victory over the Orlando Red Sox and the 54+ American Division title.

“That was a really tough game,” explained Caballeros Manager David Castro.  “Juan Rodriguez pitched a complete game victory, allowing only two runs.  We came together with the bats and the pitching at the same time when it was most needed.”
