Alí Castillo and Wilfredo Tovar are the only Leones players to hit over .300 points after the first two days of this Series. The Venezuelan offense came from receiving 8 walks against Panama and the pitching yesterday was punished with 11 hits. Manager Sheriff appointed reinforcement Guillermo Moscoso as today’s starter.
The Farmers have struggled to produce with men in circulation and on Friday they left 7 runners on the bases. A shooting error by receiver Yosvani Alarcón opened the door for the setback against the Dominicans. Yoel Mogena is announced as today’s starter, when they hope to take advantage of Raico Sánchez’s knowledge of the Venezuelan league.
