As close as the Venezuelan League’s first round of playoffs were, it was no surprise that three teams tied at the top with 9-7 records, necessitating an extra day of games to determine which two teams would advance to the Venezuelan Series.
In Thursday’s opening tiebreaker, regular season champ Caracas beat Aragua, 6-2, as Marco Scutaro singled in a run in the fourth inning and squeezed in another run in the seventh to help send the Leones to the finals. Following their loss, Aragua had to beat La Guaira in order to join Caracas in the Venezuelan Series. That they did, riding a two-run homer by Rene Reyes and a solo bomb by Luis Meza to beat the Tiburones, 3-1. Five Aragua pitchers combined to scatter eight La Guaira hits in the win as Jesus Delgado took the win.
Caracas and Aragua opened their best-of-7 series for the Venezuelan crown on Friday.
