The fall of the undefeated Etecsa against Guerreros, and the victory of the Jamaicans against the Combinado Avícola Nacional (CAN), led to a tie in the standings between the telecommunicators and the English speakers, in what constituted the fourth day of the tournament in tribute to May Day, International Workers’ Day .
The Warriors took advantage of the first innings against Etecsa that began the match with a decimated roster, even with several reinforcements. Despite this, the telecommunicators managed to tie the game, although they finally fell with score of 12 to 11.
Manuel Calderín won and Liovis Montoya lost. Esmeregildo Torres, 2-for-2, with three RBIs, led the offensive of the defeated, while Gerardo Correoso and Deivis Raimond, 3-for-3 each, stood out for the winners.
The defeat of Etecsa was taken advantage of by the Jamaicans to embrace them in first place. Their victory against CAN was 11-4, with credit to Jorge Luis Merencio and the defeat to Jorge Gómez. For the Poultry Alfredo Neira hit two triples in three at-bats and for the Jamaicans Yónger Fistó matched 3-for-4, with a home run and three RBIs.
For its part, Sepsa obtained its fourth consecutive defeat on Vitilla, this one 9 by 8, in a clash that they towed after not being able to withstand the latter’s pitching. Ramón Vega won and José Garbey lost. Esmeraldo Fiss and Justino Hechavarría homered for the crestfallen, and for the smiling Eider Durán he hit 2-for-3, with a decisive home run in the sixth inning.
So Etecsa and Jamaicans are 3 and 1, followed by Guerreros, CAN and Sepsa (2-2) and Vitilla 0-4. This Sunday Sepsa-Guerreros, Jamaicans-Etecsa and Vitilla-CAN will play other match, said Luis García, advisor to the Luminarias del Guaso League.
The match corresponding to the 60’s sub league was a triumph for the Braves, who needed to reinforce themselves.
