This Thursday begins a series of two games that could define the final destination of the three casts still alive in the Round Robin, Caribes, Navegantes and Cardinals. For the day Anzoátegui arrives in first place in the table and receives Magallanes with only half a game away.

Under this context, the duel between them was expected as a fierce fight.

Thus, the Turks set sail quickly during the first inning, after 2 outs, Ángel Reyes thunders a double and steps on the plate with a single by Pablo Sandoval.

The Caribbean response comes in the second and achieves the equalizer in the second with Balbino Fuenmayor who hits biangular, Tomás Telis draws a ticket, Jesús Sucre responds with a hit, while Rafael “Balita” Ortega bats for a selection play that allows the score of “Balbineitor “.

But the Navegantes’ cannons are equally powerful, they regain control of the board in the fourth inning with Leonardo Reginatto walking and double Alberth Martínez.

The give and take continues at the bottom of that entrance. The tribe equalizes again with a single from Telis and a double from “Balita”. For the sixth they go ahead when Herlis Rodríguez walks, Sucre hits and Ortega welcomes reliever Wilking Rodríguez hitting another “Balita” with an RBI single to center.

The ship forces everything to start again in the lucky seventh, there Carlos Pérez and Rayder Ascanio hit, Pérez surprises by cheating the anteroom, Cade Gotta receives an intentional walk while Alberto González hits a ground ball for a forced out that does not prevent the tied at 3.

However, Caribes replied immediately with a couple of runs at the end of that episode with homers from Fuenmayor when they found Astudillo in circulation.

The Navegantes in their next chance are given the task of discounting, they achieve it with a double by Alejandro De Aza that drives the pinch runner (by Sandoval), Juan Infante, all against reliever Lester Oliveros, however it is all they can do .

Esteban Haro takes over in that eighth, withdraws 2 outs and 3 more in the ninth to add save number 2 to his records, keeping his effectiveness immaculate. Jean Toledo (2-0, 0.00) wins in 0.2 innings work.

The defeat is for Jumbo Díaz (1-1, 3.18), victim of “Balbineitor’s” blow.
