[CLlC]Group D Venezuela make it 3 wins in a row with come-from-behind win Suarez earns 2 points in timely fashion-WBC 2023: Nikkan Sports

Venezuela won the victory from behind Nicaragua and decided to break through to the first round with three consecutive victories without losing from the first match. If they lose against Israel in the last 15, they will be tied with the Dominican Republic or Puerto Rico, but they have won in direct clashes with both teams, and they have also decided to pass the first place.

Venezuelan left-hander Eduardo Rodriguez (29 = Tigers) was out of order from the start, and in the second inning, when the bases were loaded with one out with three consecutive hits, one run was scored during the groundout.

However, in the 4th attack, Andres Jimenez (24 = Guardians) timely hit the right front of the 1st and 2nd base with 2 deaths to tie the score. The next Yugenio Suarez (31 = Mariners) won by hitting two runs up the middle at second and third base with two outs.

In the 5th inning, the leading Luis Renhijo (26 = Angels) hit a base with a center front hit, and Anthony Santander (28 = Orioles) added 1 point with a timely center front hit at 1st and 2nd base with 2 deaths. In the last three games, Santander has been down with a 40% batting average, 5 minutes and 5 minutes, 2 home runs, and 5 RBI.

“We are all happy with the win,” said coach Omar Lopez.
