Liendo's Three-Hit, Three-RBI Day Lifts Sea Dogs to 10-7 Win
PORTLAND, Maine — Ahbram Liendo delivered one of his most productive offensive performances of the season on Sunday, collecting three hits and driving in three runs to lead the Portland Sea Dogs to a 10-7 victory.
Liendo's multi-faceted effort at the plate powered an offense that put up double digits against an opposing pitching staff that struggled to contain Portland's lineup. The middle infielder finished the day a triple shy of the cycle, with each of his three knocks making a tangible impact on the scoreboard.
The Sea Dogs built their ten-run total behind a balanced attack, but Liendo's three RBIs led the way. His timely hitting came in key situations, allowing Portland to keep pace and eventually pull ahead in a game that featured enough offense for both clubs.
The opposing team countered with seven runs of its own, keeping the contest competitive throughout, but Portland's bats proved to be too much to overcome. The Sea Dogs' pitching staff navigated a high-scoring afternoon just well enough to secure the win, closing out the final innings to preserve the three-run margin.
With the victory, Portland continues its stretch of consistent play, leaning on contributions from across the roster. Liendo's standout afternoon underscored the kind of all-around offensive capability the Sea Dogs have showcased throughout their season — a blend of contact hitting, extra-base ability, and run-producing at-bats that can flip a game in a single swing.
The Sea Dogs will look to carry that momentum into their next outing, where the club will aim to keep its bats hot and its pitching sharp. For Liendo, Sunday's performance served notice that he remains a central figure in Portland's offensive engine.
