The Matanzas crocodiles woke up from lethargy and beaten the Orange Villa Clara 12 races for 2, on Wednesday, in a game where Matanzas receiver Andrys Pérez debuted as a homer, throwing two balls out of the park to contribute with an offensive balance of 4-2, two runs scored and four driven.
Noelvis Entenza walked for six innings and only allowed four hits, struck out four batters and tolerated two scores to take his fourth success of the season with 3 failures. The reverse went to the account of Lázaro Javier.
Yariel Duque, 4-3, including homer; Jefferson Delgado, 4-3 as well as Javier Camero, also contributed decisively to the score of his team, which took advantage of the breakdown of leader Camagüey 10-8 against the Guantanamo basement.
Matanzas remains in the third step of the standings, now only one game of the Bulls, but faces the siege of the Cienfuegos, Las Tunas and Sancti Spíritus teams, while Santiago de Cuba rests in the second place in the middle from the top.
This Thursday will conclude the sub-series with Villa Clara, which has announced its best trump card on the mound: Freddy Asiel Álvarez, without a doubt a tamer that the Crocodiles will have to overcome to consolidate their aspirations to be included among the four big ones of the direct classification to the next round of the Cuban baseball championship, which touches its finals in the qualifier.
