Centeno Tops Arecibo, 6-3, for 250th Win Thursday, September 10th , 1914 What would you do after you had just won your 250th game? Run around Estadio Municipal de Arecibo doing cartwheels, jumping for joy and waving to the crowd? Well, maybe you and I would do that, but not BenjamÃn Centeno -- that's not his way. After he notched number 250, the 34-year-old Maunabo hurler spoke to the press like he always has -- in a soft, quiet voice. He wasn't doing any cartwheels or even anything resembling a jump for joy. "Obviously it feels very good," Centeno commented. "To win this many games, you've got to have a lot of help." Centeno got his milestone victory by beating the Arecibo Lobos 6-3. He held them to 9 hits in 8 innings and rung up 4 strikeouts with 3 walks. After sharing his thoughts with the press, he went to the clubhouse. There he was greeted by the guys who had helped him get #250. His teammates drenched him and then gave him a rousing round of applause. That got to him -- for the first time today, Centeno's face broke into a big smile. Centeno has rolled up a 250-195 career record and he boasts a lifetime ERA of 2.34.
