The Woodcutters of Las Tunas They overcame an early disadvantage and remained undefeated on their grounds during the postseason by defeating 4×3 to Industriales, in order to dangerously tilt in their favor (2-0) the balance of the decisive playoff of the 62nd National Baseball Series.
Industrial Ripped Aggressive marking starter Eliander Bravo twice in the same first inning thanks to a double by Oscar Valdés that found a couple of teammates on the bases (this, after a very premature intentional walk to Yasiel Santoya).
However, the locals appealed to the speed of the leader of the batsmen in the season, Héctor Castillo, to discount a race when he grounded, he advanced on an unstoppable, stole third and came to the plate on a fielder’s choice.
From that entry, both Bravo and the visiting opening manager, Raymond Figueredo, exercised a marked predominance where the only “blemish” was the third score for the Lions, which came from a single by Santoya that drove in Jorge Alomá.
So, with the score 3×1 the so-called ‘lucky inning’ was reachedwhere manager Guillermo Carmona decided to put 19-year-old Rafael Perdomo on the mound, and he was punished with three hits in a row that closed the scoreboard.
Then Frank Herrera took over the streamers and, after getting one out, he could not prevent the king of the hit in the national ball, Danel Castro, directed a shipment towards the middle of the field and will send home tie and advantage in the legs of Dailier Peña and Castillo himself.
The hosts’ bullpen dealt with the remaining outs before the ineffectiveness of the industrialist offensive, with the final outs (and the save) to the account of Alberto Pablo Civil.
The best-of-seven-game series will continue on Thursday at the Latinoamericano stadium, where the capital’s line-up is expected to strengthen with the reentry of Yasmany Tomáswho was unable to make the trip to eastern Cuba due to food poisoning.
The initial clash of the dual meet took place on Saturday and gave the victory to the local team, seven races for two. In the same game, the Lumberjacks’ offensive also woke up in the last third and broke a two-way tie that had been significantly prolonged due to an interruption due to failures in the lighting of the facility.
While, could not play yesterday due to inclement weather.
