Infielder Edwin García dressed as a hero when he hit the ball that gave victory to Navegantes del Magallanes over Leones del Caracas in an unusual game that took place at the José Bernardo Pérez Stadium in Valencia, which began yesterday Friday and ended during the early hours of this Saturday.
The outfielder from Magellan Alberth Martínez was shaping up to become the great figure of the commitment, after hitting a couple of home runs and pushing, until the eighth inning, six runs.
However, the long-haired troop held a seven-race rally in the ninth chapter to turn the score around. The great league Gleyber Torres, who was the first out of the inning, hit a powerful double through the left field to consummate the capital comeback.

In a more than controversial decision, the Turkish manager, Puerto Rican Yadie Molina, decided to remove Bruce Rondón, Magallanes closer, with two outs in the hypothetical last inning and placed Henderson Álvarez, who has been punished throughout the season, who he was hit by the New York Yankees waiter.
The filibuster team did not lower its arms and managed to equalize the actions through a productive single by Martínez, who, thanks to his seven pushed in this challenge, became the leader in the battalion Venezuelan Professional Baseball League (LVBP).
an unexpected hero
However, already in the tenth chapter, Oswaldo Arcia appealed to his power to put the capital team ahead again. Magallanes responded once more and tied again thanks to a home run by Romer Cuadrado.
To put an end to the marathon and changeable game, Edwin García hit a double for Rayder Ascanio to score the winning run.
Kevin Castro took the victory and Ricardo Rodríguez the defeat in a duel of multiple emotions.
With this result, Magallanes, who remains in the core of the classification table, placed his mark at 17-19 and Leones, who remains on the hunt for Cardenales de Lara, now has a record of 20-13.
