Matadors Capture Close Win
Matadors fans were sent into a frenzy with a walk-off win.

The Madrid Matadors picked up a win at Matadors Stadium, topping the Venetian Venators, 4-3. On the mound for Madrid was right-hander Andy Doyle. He played a principal role in the triumph. Madrid reliever Costel Porumbescu picked up the win, raising his record to 1-0. Kiril Debatmenov was tagged with the loss.

The decisive blow was delivered by Christian Bigica in the bottom of the ninth when he hit a run-scoring double off 27-year old left-handed pitcher Kiril Debatmenov to win the game for Madrid. The home crowd went nuts.

"Nice to see our side come away with the win," Bigica said after the game.

Venetian falls to 0-2.
