After a night to be forgotten, Agricultores de Cuba fared better in their fourth game of the Caribbean Series, although they suffered their third loss in a row and their chances of advancing to the semi-finals diminished.

The Cañeros de los Mochis club won for the third time, flipping the scoreboard in the February classic, everything was decided by the minimum.

The Mexicans took advantage in the first inning with a three-round package when they used southpaw Angel Sanchez, who was only able to get two strikeouts. A pair of tickets delivered to the first and third bats made it difficult for him to get in, and then uncollected and tubular in a 1-3 score billed a heap.

The second time around, the kickoff pitch failed to complete the pitch, and most of the work fell to the bullpen.

Centaurus Carlos Martí capitalized on two defensive errors which, combined with three hits and a block in the second leg, opened the home court doors for five runners.

The joy on the bench didn’t last long as Arco del Pacífico League picked up another three runs in the third at the expense of pitcher Kelbis Rodriguez.

It looked like it was going to be a clash of many runs, but since then no one has completed the lap again, and Cañeros’s serve was out 23 in a row until Guillermo Aviles hit with two strikeouts in the ninth.

Between Kelbis (7.1 INN, 3CL, 8H, 3K and 3BB), the ultimate underdog, and Andy Vargas (1.0, 1BB) held off the Mexican attack, waiting for an offensive round to somehow even the score, but before that, no came. and now ours find themselves in a very uncomfortable situation in the standings (1-3).

Geoffrey Kinley had a quality debut (6.0 INN, 2CL, 4H, 2K and 1BB) and if he didn’t leave the score less tight it was due to defensive errors in Chapter 2.

From seventh to ninth place, one man worked per inning, and only closer Jake Sanchez allowed a hit, but closed it with two outs.

Third baseman Rodolfo Amador (4–3) and Jaisson Atondo (4–2) led the Cañeros offense while Aviles (4–2) was the only one to land multiple hits for the Agricultores.

Forced to win and win, tomorrow the Cuban squad will face Vaqueros de Monteria from Colombia, whom they beat in 13 innings this Sunday! to Curacao 6-5.

With two games remaining for the fourth day, Mexico leads (3-1), followed by Venezuela and the Dominican Republic (2-1), Curaçao and Colombia (2-2), Puerto Rico and Panama (1-2). and closes Cuba (1-3).
