Balbino Fuenmayor’s two-run homer in the seventh inning and Esteban Haro’s strong 1.2-inning relief, defined the triumph of Caribes de Anzoátegui 5-4 over Navegantes del Magallanes to bring the Tribu closer to the objective of defending the title in the final of the 2021-2022 season.
Fuenmayor broke the three-run tie with the first shipment he observed from the Dominican Jumbo Díaz, in an evening to remember, at the Alfonso “Chico” Carrasquel Stadium in Puerto La Cruz, a scene where both teams engaged in a real struggle throughout of the entire match, with the last word in favor of the locals, who won their first game at home against the Turks in the campaign, after four confrontations.
“He came from a shift in Valencia against Jumbo Díaz where he worked on me only with broken pitches. Today I went for a straight pitch and I was able to get it”, described the Most Valuable Player and Comeback Player of the Year, about the determining turn against the Quisqueyan.
“It’s an excellent victory, this audience of ‘Chico’ Carrasquel deserved this joy. The eastern fans deserve wins, a pass to the final and the title, in the name of God we are going to fulfill it, we will go game by game until we give them that happiness”, said the shoveler, who finished the day 4-2, with double , two runs batted in and the same number of runs scored, refers to a press release from the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League (LVBP).
With the victory, Anzoátegui (9-4), increased the distance in the lead against Navegantes (8-6) and Cardenales, his escorts, to 1.5 games. The red birds won their commitment of the night against Tigres, causing the Bengali elimination.
