[- !el Catire *O*]

 

Caracas.- The Leones of Caracas connected 14 inatrapables to defeat the Tiburones de La Guaira 8-1 and reunited with the victory after four consecutive defeats.

The infielder Harold Castro led the hairy offensive in the University Stadium with a trio of hits, including a double and a triple, which served to awaken the caraquista's tolerance. While Luis Diaz, Francisco Carrillo, Alejandro Chacin and Jose Ascanio were commissioned from the mound to limit the damage of the Litoral.

The match was closed during the first five chapters in which the only damage was a race of La Guaira in the third inning, before the shipments of Diaz.

But in the sixth, the powerful hairy slug exploded and made a seven-rally rally that turned the scoreboard around.

Receiver Juan Graterol hit a single by the middle of the field, outfielder Victor Reyes negotiated a ticket and Wilfredo Tovar fired a single, with a touch by third base, to fill the bases, without outs. That's when Castro came to the home and hit a triple for the right field that swept the bases and gave the advantage to Caracas.

"I was a little nervous," admitted the most recent big league of the country. "In those kind of turns you always put more pressure on the account but I tried to leave everything aside and look for a good pitching. I was very anxious, I did not expect the ball to arrive, I always went ahead and that's why I was a bit in a slump. Fortunately, things went well today. "

The attack did not end there and Isaías Tejeda followed with another triple and then scored in the race for a wild pitch of Tiburones. Jesus Guzman connected a double to center field, Jeffrey Báez advanced to third with a single and the Colombian Harold Ramírez towed him with a sacrifice fly.

Maikol González and Juan Graterol hit consecutive singles to boost Báez and crown the rally of seven dashes of the pack.

"I always said it: I have confidence in my players and that I will never change," manager Mike Rojas said. "Trust was always there and today we explode. We have always battled and today we win. "

In the ninth inning, consecutive singles of Reyes, Tovar and Castro brought one more race that ended the sentence in favor of the Lions.

Rojas celebrated the performance of Diaz in 4.2 innings allowed only pair of hits and a career, but his performance was reduced because he was expelled from the meeting.

"He did a tremendous job, he's been pitching very well with us and that pitching he was sent off for was a strike. He was right and was right to argue and I went out to protect my player, "said Rojas, who also left the game in that fifth inning.

Carrillo went to relieve Diaz and pulled the zero to strike out with the full bases to Juan Apodaca.

"He's pitching even better than last year. He has confidence in his pitches and I in him. We have put him in complicated situations and he throws strikes. He has done a good job, "added Rojas.

Chacín and Ascanio retired without major problems the eighth and ninth inning to seal the victory caraquista that closed the week with a record of 2-4.
