Critical rain against Panamanian Camargo, a member of the Dominican Republic, for celebrating his move to the Caribbean Series final

On Saturday, the Eagles rallied in the ninth inning to eliminate the Federals with a two-stage RBI hit by Carlos Paulino on loaded bases. Camargo was one of the runners who scored on the plateau and immediately began to celebrate the passage to the final that will be played on Saturday against Criollos de Caguas from Puerto Rico.

Federation player Jaime Barria called the actions of Camargo, a member of the Atlanta Braves in the major leagues, “a lack of respect for the country.”

On Sunday, Camargo – who has been strengthening the Eagles in the 2017 Dominican ball and participating in their first Caribbean series – posted a press release on their social networks apologizing for what happened, while reminding that the contest is composed for the ninth private.

“I want to sincerely apologize if anyone was offended by celebrating the victory of the club that gave me the opportunity to raise the name Panama,” Camargo wrote.
