VENEZUELA -Even though José Conopoima had some control troubles on the pitch, the reigning champs were able to maintain their advantage over Germany.
They gained the lead in the second, and after that they never gave it up.
On Monday, Venezuela won their match against Germany by a score of 7-3, moving their record in Group A of the IV WBSC Baseball World Cup to 2-2.
In a matchup somewhat similar to the one they had on Sunday against Colombia, the defending world champions had a hit advantage of 13-4 over their opponents but were unable to break open the score.
After allowing two walks in the first inning, the starting pitcher for Venezuela, José Conopoima, was unable to maintain control of his pitches and was removed from the game as a result.
Despite this, Venezuela was still able to take the lead in the bottom of the first inning against Nicolas Goebert by scoring two runs on three hits, two of which were doubles by Michael Chirinos and Amador Arias.
Alexander Schmidt and Yannic Walther of Germany responded with back-to-back hits in the top of the second inning, and Walther drove in a run with an RBI double against reliever Oscar Abreu of the United States.
The fact that Venezuela was able to score against Anton De Angelis, the third German pitcher, with four runs on five hits in the bottom of the third was a crucial factor in the country’s eventual victory.
The victory was credited to Abreu, who went 2-2 innings, and Carlos Valero, who was perfect and got a five-out save.
The road to the Super Round gets more difficult with each passing day. On Tuesday at 19:00 local time, Venezuela will play Chinese Taipei, who is ranked second in the world. At the same time, Germany will play Colombia in their final match of the preliminary round.
Yoandy Rea, who was playing for Venezuela, was attempting to steal second base.
