Curaçao makes a winning debut in the Americas Baseball Series

Managua, Jan. 25 (Prensa Latina) The Curacao Goats beat the Colombian Caimanes of Barranquilla 5-4 today in the debut of both teams in the first edition of the Americas Baseball Series being played in Nicaragua.

A walk by rescuer Ronald Ramírez with the bases loaded, left the dangerous rivals, who a few days ago won the 14th crown in their professional league, lying on the grass of the National Sovereignty Stadium.

The Antilleans opened the scoring in the same first inning with a rocket towing by Jiandido Tromp, but the team now led by Normando Linero countered with a cluster of three runs in the third, to take a momentary advantage.

Three doubles off Kevin Kelly’s pitches, one of them by Estamy Ureña that drove in the tie and another by Dilson Herrera that brought two teammates home, made the package.

The Colombian starter, Luis Pérez, worked four innings with six strikeouts, but in the fifth the Goats mutinied with a trio of runs to take control of the fight, two of them driven in by a single by pinch-hitter Dudley Leonora.

The Caimanes achieved the hug in the sixth inning with a home run by Fabián Pertuz, with Angelo Palumbo on the mound, and left the scene ready for the final outcome.

Hits by Didi Gregorius and Jeremy Profar and an intentional walk filled the bases, before the islanders scored the winning run, on the account of the defeated John Jairo Romero.

The Colombians will play again this afternoon against the Daom Club of Argentina and the Curaçaoans will do so in the evening (19:00, local time) against the Nicaraguan national team, both games at the same Nacional Soberanía.

The two teams have to play the doubleheader due to having arrived late to the venue due to flight delays, according to the Baseball Association of the Americas.

The other match scheduled for this Saturday is that of the Leñadores de Las Tunas (Cuba) against the Águilas Metropolitanas (Panama), at 18:00 hours at the Roberto Clemente Stadium in Masaya.
