Leones del Caracas took an important victory against the Tigres de Aragua on their visit to Maracay, with a score of 11 runs 5 with Harold Castro in a stellar plan.
The offensive of those led by manager José Alguacil was noticeable throughout the match, so much so that they had 18 hits with Harold Castro inspired because he went 3 for 5 with a home run, two runs scored and three RBIs, while José Rondón lived another important night with the hairy uniform in the 2024-2025 season of the Venezuelan Professional Baseball League (LVBP), reported Alan Navarro, press officer of the hairy club.
In the first episode, Leones del Caracas opened the scoring with a trio of streaks, the product of consecutive singles by Oswaldo Arcia and a double throughout the center field by Lenyn Sosa, who ended up scoring due to José Rondón’s hit.
Key moment for Caracas
At the beginning of the fourth inning, Harold Castro gave the first blow with the wood by catching a delivery from Cuban Lázaro Blanco to send the center field to no man’s land and thus put the game 4 runs to 3.
In the upper part of the fifth section, the upper part of the capital’s lineup once again made the difference, precisely with a ticket to Tovar and unstopps from Arcia, Rondón and Sosa, to leave the table set for Harold Castro. In that turn, the utility man responded with a two-run RBI single to put the game at 7-3.
The long-haired team sealed the match with four runs in the seventh inning, these runs were driven by Víctor Berico, René Pinto with his first hit, which was a double, and again Tovar.
Aragua Highlights
José Martínez, Keyber Rodríguez, Eduardo Escobar and Jesús Sucre shone for the Tigres de Aragua, who were in charge of adding RBIs for the cause of the home team.
Colin Peluse claimed the victory due to an important two-thirds relief, while José Guedez took the loss.
