PINEWOOD of the Río defeated Ciego de Ávila 5-4 this Tuesday and remains comfortable at the top of the 63rd National Baseball Series, which began its tenth individual matches.
Visiting the José Ramón Cepero stadium, the Vegueros had good hitting from Tailor Sánchez, who went 2 for 4, including a double and two RBIs.
Fourth successive victory for the troops of mentor Alexander Urquiola.
In addition, victory number four for rescuer Yan Carlos García and seventh save for closer Orisbel Borges – he threw a inning immaculate -, the real “cloth of tears” when the procedure becomes complicated.
The monarch exponent Las Tunas, who does not want to lose track of Pinar, defeated Sancti Spíritus 11×4 and maintained second place. Home run by Yunier Rondón, an RBI of three runs, supported reliever Anier Pérez’s fourth success.
The standings hardly showed any substantial changes with the respective triumphs of Camagüey and Granma.
The Toros Agramontinos gave Artemisa a 16×4 knockout, with a fierce offensive of 22 hits and a highlight for Yordanis Samón, who went 3-for-5 with a pair of home runs and five RBIs.
And the Alazanes from Granma beat Cienfuegos 13-5, who made four errors. They hit three home runs, one by Guillermo Avilés, who reached the figure of a thousand hits in national series.
In addition, Guantánamo beat Mayabeque 4×1, Santiago de Cuba beat Matanzas 8×1 and the confrontation between Villa Clara and Isla de la Juventud was suspended.
At night they played Industriales vs. Holguin.
