The great rally
Despite the Caraquista awakening, the shark team produced a nine-scoring rally in the sixth chapter to practically tip the balance of the challenge.
Wilson Garcia, Leobaldo, Maikel Garcia, Rafael Merchan, Angel Aguilar and Alcides stuck productive singles in the Guarani big inning.
Already in the seventh of “luck”, Wilson hit a double base sweep to add three more stripes to the salty cause. However, Eugenio Suárez with a double and Tejeda with a hit pushed in three runs to try a rebellion.
However, Ricardo Genoves regained the Sharks difference with a three-run homer.
