FINAL

BOXSCORE 1/14/2021  Los Navegantes del Magallanes knot their series against Anzoategui at one.  Magallanes waste no time scoring first; leadoff hitter Cade Gotta opens the game with a double and a run scored.  But their lead is short-lived.  Caribes catcher Antonio Sucre in the second inning, doubles home the tying run.  Left fielder Alberth Martinez then tilts the game back in Navegantes' favor in the fourth with a hit and a run batted in.  And that's the way things end.  Magallanes starter Wilfredo Boscan earns the victory after limiting Los Caribes to one run on five hits and one walk through five innings pitched.  Reliever Jose Rondon earns the save.  Caribes starter in a losing effort yields two runs on nine hits through seven innings pitched.
