(0-3) Cardenales de Lara         6
(3-0) Caribes de Anzoátegui    9
FINAL

BOXSCORE 1/24/21 - Leading off the bottom of the second inning, Caribes designated hitter Oswaldo Arcia homers off Lara starter Henry Centeno.  Anzoátegui rallies again in the fifth; third baseman Niuman Romero pushes home a run with a sac-fly; center fielder Rafael Ortega and second baseman Ali Castillo each hit doubles and drive in a run apiece; and a single and run batted in from Willians Astudillo gives Los Caribes a 5-0 lead.  Lara strikes back in the top of the sixth on runs batted in from Carlos RiveroJecksson Flores, and Josmar Cordero, making it a new 5-3 game.  But Anzoátegui retaliates with another four-run outburst in the home sixth.  Rafael Ortega tripled with the bases loaded and then scores on a base hit from Ali Castillo, giving Los Caribes a commanding 9-3 lead.  Lara makes a go of it with a run in the seventh, driven in by second baseman Cesar Hernandez, and two more runs in the ninth, but nothing more.  Runs batted in by Cesar Hernandez and pinch hitter Jose Tabata round out the score.  Andres E. Perez earns the victory in relief of Guillermo Moscoso, who yields no runs on just one hit and two walks with two strikeouts through a brief three-inning start.  Los Caribes bat 5 for 10 with runners in scoring position; Rafael Ortega and Ali Castillo join together at the plate on 6 for 10 with three extra-base hits and six runs batted in.  With Sunday's victory in game three at Estadio Alfonso Carrasquel, Los Caribes de Anzoátegui seize a commanding three games to none series lead.
