The Leones del Caracas suffered a severe setback receiving an incredible comeback by Tigres de Aragua at the José Pérez Colmenárez Stadium in the city of Maracay in a key duel for the people of the capital, who had to win if they wanted to be leaders alone.
The visiting team started winning by three runs thanks to a sacrifice fly by Oswaldo Arcia and a pair of singles by Gabriel Noriega and Wilfredo Tovar. Later, Arcia would add the fourth stripe with a hit.
The actions would be matched between the fourth and seventh chapter. Wilson Ramos would pay a two-run RBI double, Leobaldo Pina would connect single and Carlos Tocci would force an out.
The ninth inning would be a real nightmare for the capital. A single from Tocci, another from Amarista and a sacrifice fly from Wilson Ramos would make the scoreboard show a final result of 8 runs to 4 in favor of the hosts. The Lions remain even with the Cardenales de Lara.
