The Ganaderos team beat the leader Agricultores 8-2 and broke a six-game winning streak in the I Cuban Elite Baseball League, which this Thursday will lift the curtain on its sixth particular sub-series.
Sancti Spiritus mentor Héctor Huelga’s team was bolstered by another excellent pitching performance from experienced Avila right-hander Yander Guevara, who in 7.0 innings slotted in six hits and barely allowed a run deserved, with five strikeouts and the traditional control that he always exhibits in his presentations since he does not award tickets.
Among the locals at his Camagüey stadium Cándido González, for the winners, Leslie Anderson stood out, who went 2-2 with three trailers, while Yordanis Samón went 2-4 and drove in two runs. Anderson and Samón are 40 years old each and are the main voices in the Ganaderos offensive.
In the other game of the afternoon, the Centrals had 13 hits and beat the Cafetaleros 6-1 in Victoria Park in Girón, buoyed by the good boxing performance of southpaw Yamichel Pérez of Matanzas and at bat of the first baseman Yariel Duque.
—
Yamichel did not look well and in the first inning they scored the only run for the cafe boys with two of five hits he allowed in 7.0 innings, during which he struck out five and gave no free walks.
In that opening inning, the Yumurino southpaw allowed a double to leadoff batter Santiago Torres and a hit to Yordan Manduley. But from then on he improved his drives to the plate and worked impeccably before receiving relief from Cienfuegos Hermes González, who pitched 2.0 scoreless innings and scored his third stoppage of the tournament.
Meanwhile, southpaw Duque hit a two-run homer in the eighth inning against fast, young Guantanamo reliever Ernesto Góngora, to score the classic run.
The Tobacco versus Tobacco match did not take place. Dockers at the Capitan San Luis stadium in Pinar del Río because of the rain. Tomorrow they will play the seven-inning doubles.
After these results, he leads the farmers (11-3) followed by the breeders (9-4), the power plants (8-6), the tobacco growers (6-8), the coffee growers (5-8) and the port workers (2- 12).
