BUDDY JUST CAN'T STOP WINNING...
PawSox Manager Buddy Bailey managed his Venezuelan Team the Aragua Tigers to beat Puerto Rico in Game 1 of the Carribean World Series. Thanks to the heroics of center fielder Robert Perez, Venezuela's Aragua Tigers won a see-saw battle in the first game of the Caribbean Series on Sunday evening.
Venezuela beat Puerto Rico's Ponce Lions, 7-6, on a bases-loaded single by Perez in the bottom of the 10th inning.
Venezuela's Luis Ordaz led off the bottom of the 10th with a single off reliever Justin Lehr, which was followed by an Alex Cabrera double and Miguel Cabrera intentional walk that loaded the bases for Perez's game-winning hit. Perez hit the first homer of the Series, a two-run blast that barely cleared the left-field wall in the bottom of the sixth inning, giving Venezuela a 5-3 lead.
But that lead unraveled in the eighth inning when Jose Molina singled and Raul Nieves blooped an RBI double off Francisco Rodriguez to make it 5-4, and Rodriguez then threw a wild pitch that allowed the tying run to score.
Luis Lopez gave Puerto Rico a short-lived 6-5 lead in the top of the ninth with a monster solo shot off Francisco Butto, but Venezuela came right back in the bottom of the frame to tie it when pinch-hitter Luis Rodriguez singled in Perez.
"This is a big win," Venezuela manager Buddy Bailey said.
"If we're going to have any chance to win this series, we're going to have to win four or maybe five games. Baseball is a lot of percentages."
