Los Alazanes mentor Carlos Marti gave way in the first game of this collation, precisely in front of the fast and controlled shipping of Yera, who only allowed them freedoms and prescribed ten strikeouts in six innings.
But then had three consecutive wins, the first of which much had the good actions of Ulfrido on the mound during five innings, and have put a smile out of the pass to the dispute of the scepter, which belongs to them from last season.
The left-handers regular alignment of the granmense used by Martí in those four parties, are weapons take: Roel Santos and Guillermo Avilés, located as the first and third bates, respectively, will be obstacles in the confrontation against the fast shipping of Yera.
While, on the Ulfrido gardeners Frederich Cepeda and Ariel Sanchez to a couple of left-handers who run the ball toward any band, and highly concentrated in the batter's box, always prepared to swing the ball in count. Even, Cepeda knows hit also on the right.
The long-lived and always discussed theory of left-handed pitcher against the batter on the same hand, bears fruit if the burbank has better technical arsenal that the player madero in tow. But when there is a lot of parity, as in these cases, does not comply with the intended target.
Crocodiles have been heavy too the bat in these four games. Have produced very little and no longer have space for more: if they do not racing, would be removed today. Meanwhile, Los Alazanes March wind in its sails in the three lines of the game, but should use caution in the course of the bases.
In the last season, Granma and Massacres discussed one of the semifinals, which came out successful Los Alazanes, which then matured in the grand final to Ciego de Ávila.
Today there will also be matching actions in the unpublished Industriales-Las Las Tunas, which moved to the Latin American Stadium after the 1-1 marked in fief of the Lumberjacks. The occasion will be conducive to the official retirement of Carlos Tabares, former center fielder of the Lions of the capital and of Cuba. (Cadenagramonte)
