Mayabeque, Cuba: Mayabeque rediscovered today the good choral vibe and erased the aspirations of Santiago de Cuba (16-8) with pure hits on a baseball day with the flavor of Rafael Viñales from Las Tunas, energetic as never when he hit three home runs, Prensa Latina publishes.
After losing the day before by a super knockout (3-21), the Hurricanes lived an afternoon of resurrection and took revenge in front of their audience at the Nelson Fernández stadium, with a whopping of 18 hits -including six extra-base hits- and defensive precision proper of a surgeon .
In search of a vendetta, the offensive concert was led by Juan Hernández (5-3, 4CI, 2CA), Rafael Fonseca (4-3, 2CI, 2CA), Rangel Ramos (4-2, 1CI, 2CA) and Lázaro Martínez (4-2, 5CI, 2CA, 1HR), author of the only home run of his team.
Although the news in the collective order resulted in the success of the Mayabeque leaders, the biggest ovations of the date fell on the figure of the slugger Viñales, who had a few dream hours in the Latinoamericano, the most important and historic park on the island when you talk about balls and strikes.
Just 72 hours after taking home the home run derby trophy in the All-Star Game, the Lumberjacks catcher was overwhelmed at home plate and went 3-for-5, with five RBIs and a trio of runs scored, to guide the victory of Las Tunas over Industriales (10-6).
In other results, Sancti Spíritus defeated Pinar del Río 5-1, Ciego de Ávila dominated Artemisa 10-3, Isla de la Juventud defeated Camagüey 9-5, Guantánamo surprised Matanzas 5-4, Cienfuegos defeated 7 -5 to Holguín and Villa Clara beat Granma 4-1, current monarch of the match.
