Havana, March 24.- The LXIII National Baseball Series closed its third individual subseries today with a long day of 13 games, where the Toros de Camagüey continued without brakes by extending their winning streak to eight games and signing the first sweep of the tournament.
A single by Alexander Ayala in the bottom of the tenth inning gave Marino Luis’s disciples a 1-0 victory against the Indios de Guantanamo, in a game where the pitchers stole the show.
José Ramón Rodríguez was the owner and lord of the Nguyen Van Troi stadium by walking a route of nine sections at a pace of 10 strikeouts and a single walk, but the victory went to the records of Marlon Soriano, by getting the last three outs.
The eastern trio of Roilan Portuondo (6 EL), Leonardo Moreira (1 EL) and the defeated Enrique Castillo (2 EL) were up to the task, but there could only be one winner.
After accumulating seven victories in a row, the surprising Tigres de Ciego de Ávila fell 2-3 to the Cocodrilos of Matanzas but remained anchored at the top of the tournament.
Armando Dueñas pitched a third of the game without accepting liberties and achieved success, while Dachel Duquesne, who worked completely, took the setback.
Yadil Mujica (4-1), Luis Ángel Sánchez (3-2) and Yoandry Jiménez (2-1), drove in the runs for the winners
For the defeated, Liosvany Pérez stood out with a pair of tubeyes and an RBI.
With a rebellion when picking up the bats that bore fruit with five scores, the Cachorros de Holguín left the Alazanes de Granma field 8-7 and broke their six-game winning streak.
Edilse Silva hit a double to end the story and Yordan Manduley (5-4) and Andrés Agüero (4-3) were overwhelmed on offense, who also hit a pair of doubles each.
The Vegueros of Pinar del Río continued their good progress in the campaign by beating the Leñadores de Las Tunas, current national monarchs, twice and placed themselves one game ahead of the place of honor.
In the first hour they were knocked out 10-0 with excellent work by Erlys Casanova and offensive highlights by William Saavedra, who hit a single, double and home run and drove in seven runs.
At the end they won 4-1 supported by a home run by Yansiel Agete, a successful pitch relief by Jenier Álvarez and a save by Orisbel Borges.
At the Augusto César Sandino, in Villa Clara, the Leopardos of that province defeated the Gallos de Sancti Spiritus twice with scores of 5-3 and 4-0, the latter with credit to Randy Cueto who pitched five innings without allowing hits.
The Pirates of La Isla and the Wasps from Santiago shared honors at the Cristóbal Labra. In the first, the filibusters won 7-5 despite Eduardo García’s home run and then, with Euclides Pérez’s home run, the indomitables dominated 6-2.
Others who divided in the double bill were the Industriales de La Habana and the Elefantes de Cienfuegos, at the September 5 venues.
In the ultimately sealed game, the dreams prevailed 11-5 with the hot wood of Félix Rodríguez, who in addition to hitting a bases-loaded home run drove in six runs.
At the time of the farewell, the capitalians won a close duel 4-3, with effective work from Maykel Taylor and two pushes from Oscar Valdés, the last of which decided the match.
Finally, Hurricanes de Mayabeque and Cazadores de Artemisa also left without grievances by dividing into two challenges with little offensive.
With a score of 5-2, the first team triumphed with complete work by Yadián Martínez and a full return hit by Dennis Laza, who went 2-for-4 with a trio of RBIs.
In the second, Yulieski González’s disciples took revenge 4-2, in a match where José Ángel García achieved his 300th save in the domestic championships. (ACN) (Photo: ACN/ Archive)
