I made a cake of everything
Only five hits in 7.0 innings allowed Frandelis García to Puerto Rico’s slugging, while he walked only a couple and struck out five. Nobody stepped on his register and his effectiveness remained immaculate.
She made sure she was winning before taking the mound and, with a single to left field, she pushed the first line for the Creoles at the top of the first inning.
Venezuela added two more in the fifth to put final numbers thanks to a fly ball by Esquia Rengel and another unstoppable hit by Frandelis.
“I thank God for this opportunity to represent my country,” said García in statements reported on the website of the World Baseball and Softball Confederation.
“I had a lot of confidence in my team, in my manager Carlos Torres and, of course, in my arm,” he added.
Venezuela received its ticket to the 2024 Finals during the WBSC Ticket Punch ceremony.
