Cuban Baseball Post-season Climax - Santiago V Industriales?!

Ladies and gentlemen we could be heading for a Havana - Santiago semi-final. The classic. The rangers v celtic of Cuban baseball. All depends on today's results.

Meanwhile, what about Matanzas?
For the eleventh time in 12 consecutive campaigns, they're among the big four, a mark that had only been conquered before, in Cuban baseball seasons, by Pinar del Río.

The Yumurinos, from the luxury arm of Naykel Cruz, left Artemisa blank, in the first incursion of the Cazadores in the postseason.

Meanwhile, Industriales goes to Sancti Spíritus to win one in two opportunities to reach the same instance.

The Crocodiles' left-hander pitched the entire nine-inning route, bowled only one opponent, allowed five hits, two of them in the first two innings, and all three starting in the eighth inning.

It was also his third slurry of the campaign, and his best start in it. For him, the three in the second act were enough, when they hit four hits that were combined with a ticket.

Matanzas is not only the second semifinalist, but also became the fourth team classified for the II Elite Baseball.

In the Latin American, the Blues also whitewashed the Spiritus Roosters, with an effective Raymond Figueredo in six complete, with three strikeouts, the same number of bases and five hits.

For those from Yayabo, the night was fateful. A behavior in which 14 runners stay on the bases waiting for a hit that will make them reach home and the defence four errors that cost five scores. That sort of thing is an insurmountable ballast against victory.

Today there will be only one duel, that of Santiago and Camaguey.

If the Wasps win and the Lions manage to take the match against the Spiritusans, which now favors them 3-2, then the most anticipated classic of Cuban baseball will have been installed in the semifinals: Industriales vs. Santiago de Cuba!

Fingers crossed!
