Puerto Rico defeats Venezuela 6-1 in the second day of the Caribbean Series

La Guaira, 3 feb. The Indios de Mayagüez, from Puerto Rico, defeated the hosts Leones del Caracas 6-1 this Friday on the second day of the 2023 Caribbean Series, which will be played in Venezuela until February 10.

The Puerto Ricans dominated the entire match, in which they began to score points from the first inning with a single by Daniel Ortiz that served to boost the first two scores.

In the new opportunity at bat, the Indians added another run driven by a double by Roberto Enríquez.

For their part, the long-haired made a single return to the diamond in the fourth stage through a simple ball hit by Wilson Ramos towards the left field, with which he pushed Isaías Tejeda from second base to home plate.

Faced with this, the Mayagüez team did not stand still and added three runs in the fifth, thanks to a double by Vimael Machin and a succession of errors and tickets awarded by the Lions.

The second day ended with victory for the four teams that lost in the first, leaving the eight Caribbean champions on equal terms for the next five games.

The Venezuelans, who cheered the more than 35,000 fans who witnessed their victory over Panama in the first game on Thursday, will try to regain that momentum on Saturday, when they face Cuba, while the Boricuas face the Dominicans. EFE
