“The team worked hard in the regular series and the fanatica must be happy that, after 20 years without class A baseball, we returned big. Every good Elizabetla has to be part of the story. Because to beat Camuy that it is the biggest challenge, we need to fill the park with the excitement of our fans,” said Yamil Liceaga.
