Meridian Drafting
Navegantes del Magallanes (champions of Venezuela) and Gigantes del Cibao (monarchs of the Dominican Republic), measure forces tonight in a match where both currencies seek first place in the closing of the first round in the 2022 Caribbean Series.
Caribbean Series: Giants strike the first blow
At the beginning of the second inning, he begins his attack with Marcell Ozuna who draws a walk, with 1 out, Kelvin Gutiérrez double leagues that leaves runners in third and second, there Juan Francisco connects an RBI single of 2.
The merengueros widen their advantage during the fifth leg, also with 1 out, Richard Ureña hits and steps on the plate with a biangular by José Sirí.
Giants, determined to take over the roof, score again in the sixth inning, when Henry Urrtia leads off with a single, followed by Gutierrez’s infield hit, so Francisco hits a sacrifice fly to center that moves both runners. All this takes out reliever Róbert Zárate, replaced by José Martínez.
Before the new pitcher, Carlos Paulino responded with an RBI double of 2, he entered the race after an unstoppable Richard Ureña.
Caribbean Series: Magallanes reacts
In their seventh chance with the woods, the Navigators can finally score.
This occurs after Gabriel Noriega and Alejandro De Aza give consecutive hits and then advance with a wild pitch. In a fought turn that reaches the maximum count of 3-2, Niuman Romero responds with a hit that adds the first Turkish line.
With the ranch on fire, the Cibao places a new pitcher in the morrito, Luis Santos, who is received with uncatchable Willians Astudillo. To make matters worse, for the Dominicans, Balbino Fuenmayor hits a hit that adds another 2 runs.
Also, Pablo Sandoval fails via 4-3 and even so, drives 1 line.
Caribbean Series: Magallanes draws
For episode 8 Francisco Arcia opens with a hit, advances with Noriega’s sacrifice bunt, moves to third base with De Aza’s 6th shot, after Romero drew a passport, he scores with a single by Willians Astudillo.
The flip of the tortilla occurs with an uncatchable Danry Vásquez who sends Romero to the homer plate.
Caribbean Series: Giants come again
Before the relief of Vicente Campos, Cibao forced to start again after achieving the tie at 7.
It all begins with pinch hitter Jordany Valdespín hitting a double and reaching third with a hit in Ureña’s box, generating a very controversial play where, according to replays, the runner was put out at third base.
