Caracas.- The Leones del Caracas, with the help of Harold Castro, managed to turn the game around and beat the Tigres de Aragua 5-3 at the Estadio Universitario. The center fielder was a real nightmare for Bengali pitching when connecting two doubles and one single.

The first three innings were a real pitching match between hairy pitcher Matt Pearce and feline frontman Guillermo Moscoso. Both shooters did not allow races during those stages of the match.

In the fourth episode the visiting hitters managed to break the zero on the board. Pearce gave José Vargas a walk and then awarded a single by Franklin Barreto. The right managed to get the other two outs to face the ninth in the maracayero order. Engelb Vielma managed to keep the score to 3-2 and when it seemed that the hairy were going to get away with the threat, the shortstop released a line to the center to tow his two teammates.

Meanwhile Moscoso was still looking intractable from the mound. However, by the sixth inning the capital offensive managed to break the yoke and extended a deadly ambush to the right of the Tigers. Castro, Isaias Tejeda, Franklin Gutiérrez and Wilfredo Tovar combined to make four runs and flip the score.

"I already knew Moscoso because he had thrown me before. So I was psyched. I was already prepared by the previous knowledge I have of him and I could make good contact, "said Castro, who connected his three hits against Tigres' right. "Moscoso whenever we face tries to open me with a broken pitching, and then attack me with the straight. I just stop to do my work on the plate and connect the ball hard. "

Pearce stood firm on the mound after the shaky fourth inning and managed to reach the sixth to add his second win of the season.

"Today we did the races and my team backed me with the offensive, but Moscoso also did a tremendous job," said the hairy starter. "I had already faced the Tigers. I tried to repeat what I did the previous opening, I was shaky the first innings but I remembered my preparation and things went. "

In the seventh, Castro fired a double for the right field for Leobaldo Piña to reach the plate.

"Pierce's performance was very good, today we did not give more than 27 outs and we maintained the advantage to win the game," said manager Mike Rojas. "It was good that they pitched few pitchers after what is coming, the double play on Thursday among other things. That's why it's important to have the bullpen rested. "
