The victory of the Crocodiles brings the series closer

Yesterday’s game, which ended in 10 innings, brought the Crocodiles closer in the series after suffering two losses at the Leñadores.

A high tension match solved by Ariel Sánchez

It was a tense game, resolved by Ariel Sánchez with a game-winning hit on bases full, confirming the historical trend that sees Matanzas always win in postseason duels against the Leñadores.

A recurring event since 2020

It’s the fourth time this has happened since 2020, when the two teams began clashing in the playoffs. However, on this occasion, the Leñadores defense frustrated a victory that seemed almost certain.

The victory rekindles hopes of a comeback

According to data from statistician Benigno Daquinta, even in the fourth games, the Matanzas team emerged victorious, a superstition that rekindles hopes of a comeback among their fans. The incredible triumph ended Las Tunas’ six-game winning streak since the start of the playoffs.

There is no shortage of tension and twists and turns

In addition to the obvious tensions of a tight scoring game, the defense continued to build suspense in the semi-final, including the games between Industriales and Santiago de Cuba, with errors allowing more points on errors than on clean hits.

Pitchers announced for next game

Following the game, pitchers Naykel Cruz (MTZ) and Yasel Labrada (LTU) were announced for the next matchup.

The fight for the final continues

This is the fourth playoff between the two teams and the Leñadores are looking for their first victory against their opponents to access the final against the winner of the duel between the Leones and Avispas, currently led 2-0 by the Azules from the capital.
