With forcefulness, Bravos de Margarita won this Saturday with a score of 10-5 at the home of the Tigres de Aragua, in the continuation of the third week of the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League (LVBP).
According to Trina Ballesteros, press officer of the neo-Spartan ninth, the insular Edward Olivares shone by going 3-for-5 with his first home run of the 2024-2025 campaign, a walk, a pair of runs scored and two hits.
“Thank God things turned out positively, everything was in our favor. On the team, everyone did their bit, we were able to produce runs and win, which was the most important thing,” Olivares highlighted.
Likewise, he indicated that “the pitching was very active, it kept us fresh, because the innings were fast. That was very important, to keep our ‘arms warm’ and, thank God, we were able to win the game with many runs.”
Winner of the match
Melvi Acosta (1-1) took the first victory of the campaign, after working five complete innings, in which he fanned three, walked one, allowed two runs and had six hits. The setback was for Carlos Viera (0-1).
“I was very focused on the pitches, at first I had a little problems, but I was able to solve them and, truly, I feel very proud of today’s victory (Saturday). I was able to throw my pitches in the strike zone, to be able to get the hitters out of the way,” said the man from Güiria at the end of the match.
The locals struck first in the bottom of the first inning with an unstoppable hit by José Alberto Martínez, who sent Lorenzo Cedrola to the plate.

Immediately, Juan Santana also made the cash register ring with a hit that sent Carlos Pérez home.
