MIAMI.- Panama (Federales de Chiriquí) remains invincible (4-0) in this edition of the Caribbean Series and playing a baseball of small things shows that what they do is not a coincidence. Tonight they will seek to maintain the good pace of the four previous games when they face Venezuela (Tiburones de La Guaira) in the last match of the sixth full day at the Loan Depot Park starting at 8:30pm.
The day will begin with the representatives of Mexico (Naranjeros de Hermosillo) against Nicaragua (Gigantes de Rivas) at 10:30am. A duel between teams with no options to advance to the next round.
In the second hour, the representative of Curacao – full of players with Major League experience – will seek to achieve a victory against the Dominican Republic (Tigres del Licey) to maintain aspirations of advancing to the next round.
