Leones del Caracas defeated Cardenales de Lara 6 runs by 5 at the Antonio Herrera Gutiérrez stadium in Barquisimeto. The longhairs tie for first place in the standings at the end of the day with a record of 18 wins and nine losses.
Caracas returned to first place, and for this the good run of the offense could not be an exception in this duel.
Pico Leones led in the first inning with a single by big leaguer Freddy Fermín that brought Harold Castro home. Palma hit a ground ball that moved the runners and allowed Isaías Tejeda to score the second for the long-haired.
In the third episode, Freddy Fermín hit a gruesome home run through the entire left field whose whereabouts we still don’t know. Tejeda also scored on Fermín’s hit.
Puerto Rican Kennys Vargas hit his sixth home run of the season in the seventh inning to score the first of the guaros. However, Tejeda in the top of the eighth hit a two-run home run and silenced the nest.
A four-race rally made the Larenses dream. Querecuto, Sanoja and Ravelo came together to make it 6-5 in the eighth inning.
Anthony Castro arrived to put the lock on the game. The long-haired closer with big league experience got on the mound in the last inning and got out the inning without setbacks to earn his eighth save of the season and be the leader in that department along with Silvino Bracho.
WE ARE BACK ON THE TOP!
