The Diablos Rojos team, led by Holguín manager Jorge Luis Zaldívar, will go out this Wednesday to tie the final of the youth Guatemalan Winter Baseball League vs the Bronx, defending championwhich won on the opening day 9×4.
The Bronx sqaud, overwhelming in the qualifying stage of this fifth edition of the so-called Big League with 17-1, took out all its weapons to contain the rival push, among them the right-handed pitcher Eldris Castillo.
The Dominican left the game with eight runs in seven and two thirds innings, although he allowed four runs and 10 hits, before being replaced by local Estuardo Amado, who was not scored upon. For the Diablos Rojos (11-7 in the preliminary phase), 15-year-old Cuban bullpen player Jeams Martínez finished 5-1.
Speaking to Prensa Latina prior to the game, Jorge Luis Zaldívar, manager of Holguin, a member of the 2008 Cuban World Youth Team in Edmonton, Canada, explained that the Red Devils are making their debut in the event and he is satisfied with their performance.
He acknowledged the work of Bronx, “a team that is already accomplished, done”, but we are part of a young team that has nothing to lose and is very dynamic, said Zaldivar, who was born in Báguanos, Holguín province.
Zaldívar explained that he accepted the project because it unites his academy of Halcones with Diablos, to which they provide athletes, he described, and added that 90 percent of their players in the current competition are youths with an average age of 20 years.
Nobody gave anything for us and here we are, based on speed in terms of offense, taking advantage of every situation and with the best possible distribution of pitching, said the member of Holguín Cachorros baseball squad in the 48th and 49th national series.
