The final series between Leones del Caracas and Tiburones de La Guaira for the LVBP 2022-2023 season resumes tonight at the Universitario stadium, but now, with the sharks as locals and with their thunderous samba included.
Caracas is up with, so far, two wins, in the best-of-seven dispute, waiting for what comes out with game two, which was protested by the people of the coast due to the improper use of one of the capital’s pitchers on that date. .
Both commitments, those directed by José Sheriff, were achieved by being home owners, something that he has been able to take advantage of since the regular round, when they won 19 and only lost 9 from the Chaguaramos arena, while in the Round Robin they took 6 of eight, a record equal to that of La Guaira in the same instance.
Even so, during the regular round the particular series was dominated by Caracas 5-3, but of those five victories, 3 were as “visitors” at the UCV, that is, with the presence of the Macuto Samba Show (12-4 on 11/06, 2-0 on 11/12 and 11-8 on 12/03). Now, since the beginning of 2023, everyone has defended the patio as many times as they could. The two victories that each one achieved in the semifinal were local.
During the first and second games of the series, without samba in the stands, 31,886 attended, thanks to almost 16,000 attendees per day. For games 3, 4 and five, if necessary, the deployment of the guairista fans from the coast is expected, which could also be of great influence in the course of the series.
