Puerto Rican pitcher Alexis Bermúdez earned the win in her first start for the Águilas of Veracruz in the Mexican Softball League this past weekend.

Bermúdez pitched 5.1 innings in her debut and was relieved by American Lisa Hopp, who recorded the save in a 3-1 victory over the Olmecs of Tabasco.

The pitcher belongs to the Valencianas of Juncos in the Women’s Superior Softball League, where she has appeared in 10 games and started nine. She is the second Puerto Rican to play in the Mexican professional league.

With the win, the Águilas (Eagles) improved their record to 9-5 and are in third place in the standings. Veracruz will play again on Thursday and Friday as the visiting team against Unión Laguna.
