Steinbrenner Field.\n\nCaminero, motivated by his coach Rodney Linares&#8217; advice to &#8220;be aggressive,&#8221; transformed that instruction into a crucial performance.\n\n\n<p>The 21-year-old young third baseman proved his worth by hitting a home run, driving in a run, and scoring the winning run from second base, thanks to an infield single by Taylor Walls. This play culminated in a dramatic <em>walk-off<\/em> that left the fans astonished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>I was just trying to be aggressive there.
