A new episode of the Venezuelan Sports Classic took place this Saturday afternoon at the University Stadium. Magallanes and Caracas met for the seventh time this season.

In the first instance, the Caracas starter, Gerson Garabito, was complicated by giving a couple of walks, although he found resources in his repertoire to hang the 3 outs without being violated in the race.

For his part, the Magellan starter, Erick Leal, was greeted with followed hits by Wilfredo Tovar and Yosmany Guerra. Tovar stepped on the plate when Alexánder Palma hit a ground ball that failed to complete a double play.

But Garabito’s problems continued in the second section, where he received non-consecutive hits from Alejandro De Aza and Gabriel Noriega in addition to hitting Cade Gotta, in that scenario Alberto González hit rolling to shortstop with which Tovar retired Noriega in the third while De Aza stepped on the plate.

Again the Navigators put together a new attack in the fourth, there Noriega and Gotta gave consecutive hits and Pablo Sandoval once again punished Caracas with an unstoppable tug of 1. With the ranch burning, Nellie Rodríguez also thundered a single that added another for the ship, expelling Garabito.

Given this, the Lions did not fall asleep, in the fourth they arrived uncatchable followed by Palma and Aldrem Corredor, as well as consecutive tickets from José Rondón and Ronny Cedeño. In the context of the bases loaded, Jhonny Pereda fails to hit triple play down the road 5-5, 5-4, 4-3. This is one of the turning points of the game.

Magellan made a Caracas mistake pay dearly

The Navegantes continued with their movements on the bases after a hit by Albeth Martínez who advanced to second after a fielding error by Valera with which De Aza reached the initial. Here there was a point of no return in the rest of the crash.

Then Carlos Pérez released a double that added two, all against Félix Carvallo. In this fifth inning the collapse of the defense of the capital continued. With a hit by Gabriel Noriega, Pérez takes advantage of an opponent’s oversight to score in the race. Later, Alberto González sounded double driver of another.

Against new pitcher Yefry Valdez, Rodriguez hit a fly ball that landed between left, center and shortstop to drive in another. The piñata still gave more with Leonardo Reginatto dispatching biangular producer of 1, Martinez likewise responds with a single that pushed another.

In an attempt to return, Leones added one to the legs of Anthony Jiménez, but the incessant bombardment of the ship’s guns continued in sixth with consecutive hits from Noriega and Gotta.

Once again, Caracas continued to try in the low section of that section 6 with singles by Cedeño, Pereda and Valera to step on the plate again to take advantage of an error.eons managed to score another 2 with an RBI hit by Cedeño and strong rolling by Pereda in which Noriega fumbled in third.

But this would be all, in the ninth Enderson Franco withdraws the stage to finalize the Magellan victory of 10×6.

The laureate goes to Leal’s account (4-1, 4.22) by allowing 4 runs, 3 earned in 5.1 innigs with 3 walks and 2 strikeouts. Garabito loses (1-1, 3.38) responsible for 3 annotations that are clean in 3.2 of work, he gave 3 passports and fanned 3.

The Navegantes clinch first place with a 27-13 record. He leaves the particular series against the Lions 3-2.
