Ciego de Ávila suffered its 17th defeat of the 63 National Baseball Series when they fell this Saturday, at the Augusto César Sandino stadium against Villa Clara with a score of 2×9, although they still maintain third place in the standings.
In this challenge, Dany Miranda’s team played terrible defense, making three errors and being the protagonists of six of their opponents’ nine scores.
Pinar del Río on that date beat Isla de la Juventud 19×1 and went on to lead the tournament again, since Las Tunas “skidded” against Santiago de Cuba by losing 4×5.
First third
The Tigers were the first to score because in the initial inning Liisvany Pérez received a walk and then Ronaldo Castillo brought it with a double to the right field, but the hosts responded with four in the second with two singles equal number of walks and an error against the offers of the opener and defeated Luis Alberto Marrero. However, the Avilanians in the third got within one of the tie when Osvaldo Vázquez boosted the team’s second and last goal with a rocket.
Second third
The five that tipped the score one way came in the fifth when Los Naranjas exploited Marrero and in total had four hits and received two walks, while taking advantage of an error by waiter Ronaldo. In that entry Yanquiel Tamayo and Yadir Rangel also worked from the box.
Last third
There were no annotations in this segment. Both the reliever of the winners, Pedro Manuel Castillo, and those of Ciego de Ávila, Rangel and Yusnier García, behaved very well.

A little while you and another me: That’s where Las Tunas and Pinar del Río are with first place in the competition.
At 400: Ronaldo Castillo (408) is the only tiger above the 400 mark.
Nevertheless…. Despite the regrets, Avila’s pitching is sixth in the championship with 4.82 PCL.
