The Tigres del Licey (Dominican Republic) achieved their first victory of the Caribbean Series Greater Caracas 2023 after beating his counterpart from Agricultores (Cuba) with a final score of 3-1 at the Jorge Luis García Carneiro stadium in La Guaira
The Dominican team had starter Domingo Robles on the mound, who had a good performance for 5.0 innings. He allowed 5 hits and only allowed 1 earned run, posting a 1.80 ERA. He claimed the victory of the match (1-0).
Licey took advantage of Cuba’s defensive oversights to produce scores. Added to this, an error by catcher Yosvani Alarcón allowed him to open the scoring in the third chapter.
It was not a commitment with much offensive participation, as the relays looked solid and managed to keep the board almost intact. Yenssy Díaz, Keury Mella and Jonathan Aro got on the little nose to control the Cuban bats.
On the other side of the coin, Agricultores de Cuba reaped their first loss of the tournament after a bad start by their starter Jonathan Carbo, who pitched just 2.1 innings and received 3 touchdowns.
In this way, Tigres del Licey achieves the longed-for laurel in the Caribbean classic, after Mexico I will turn the cake on his debut. This Saturday they will measure forces against the Indios de Mayagüez, representatives of Puerto Rico.
