With Tuesday’s wins, Las Tunas and Villa Clara maintained their 5-2 lead in the recently released National Baseball Series, while only four teams matched the previous day’s success.
The Woodcutter added their fifth straight win of the season, especially the Alarcon brothers, who hit 5 of 8, including Yoswani’s home run and four RBIs.
The duo Angel Sanchez (6-0 INN, 3CL, 3H, 2K and 3BB) and Rodolfo Soris (3.0 INN, 4H, 2K) handcuffed Artemisa, who is in the organization’s basement.
In Santa Clara, the Leopardos equaled Ciego de Ávila in the sub-series with support from Javier Mirabal (6.1 INN, 5H, 5K and 3BB) and Luis Enrique Medina (2.1 INN, 2K), who whitewashed the Tigers’ shootout.
Magdiel Alfredo Gómez, responsible for Christian Rodriguez’s short stops, called up for pre-selection for the Alba Games, drove three runs with a trio of five trips to the plate.
Matanzas scored a couple of goals in the first inning and did not expect that these two rounds would decide the outcome of the game against Holguin with the same score as the previous day (2:1). Noervis Entenza, who lost in the first game, kept it with a stash in the ninth section, thus supporting the quality debut of Nikel Cruz (8.0 INN, 1CL, 5H, 6K and 3BB). Yumurino Ariel Sanchez scored a thousand runs for life.
The Granma champion also repeated the victory over Mayabeke. A four round package in Chapter 8 decided the clash when Osvaldo Abreu and Guillermo Aviles hit unstoppably, driving twice each.
Lefty Miguel Paradelo (3.0 INN, 2K and 1BB) controlled the Hurricanes’ wind to determine the outcome.
Vegueros de Pinar del Río finished off Santiago de Cuba with two goals in the ninth inning to finally change the score, and Toros de Camaguey also left Cienfuegos on the field in a 21-run game that turned out to be cachumbamba.
In the match, Yordanis Samon scored two doubles and scored 425 points, finishing third in the world rankings, ten behind Cepeda and 12 behind Michel Henriquez (437). Another tube Leslie Anderson and jit Leonardo Casado, who drove two runs each, changed the score.
Another player who was pleased as a visitor is the Sancti Spiritus, although due to the format of the competition, the second game is played at the home club. They defeated the Industriales again in a Latin American match supported by offensive Rodolexis Moreno, Lázaro Martínez and Kevin Arevalo, all 5–3, and the latter with a full back stick.
And finally, Indios del Guazo drew with La Isla in a clash in which Leovanni Brooks chartered four balls for the rubber and Judis Reyes (3.2 INN, 3H, 2K and 1BB) scored his second block in season.
Position table: ON and LUT (5-2); PRI, SSP, MTZ, CMG, GRA and GTM (4-3); HOL, IND, IJV, CAV, MAY, SCU (3-4); and ART and CFG (2-5).
