A four-run outburst in the second inning of Game Seven highlighted the Aragua Tigres’ 7-3 win over the Caracas Leones in the deciding contest of the Venezuelan Series. The two teams entered Friday’s game with three wins apiece in the best-of-7 set, but Aragua third baseman Matt Tolbert’s three-run homer keyed the Tigres’ big second frame en route to winning their eighth Venezuelan League pennant, five under current manager Buddy Bailey.
Six Aragua pitchers combined to spread out three Caracas runs on seven hits. Starter Jeff Farnsworth pitched two perfect innings to earn the win for the Tigres, while the Leones’ Juan Gutierrez gave up those four runs in his four frames on the mound for the loss.
