MATANZAS, Cuba, Jan 30 (ACN) Supported by its pitching staff and timely batting, Mexico defeated Matanzas 4-1 in the All-Star Series at the Victoria de Giron stadium in this Cuban western city.
Good speed in his deliveries and excellent control, solved on Monday the victory of the visiting team, which barely allowed a run by a home run in the first inning of the third baseman and third bat Yurisbel Gracial against the starter Aldo Montes.
For the Mexicans, fourth baseman and catcher Alan Espinoza, who went 3-2 with a pair of RBIs, was outstanding. In that vital line he was imitated by outfielder Daniel Cornejo.
Reliever Victor Buelna, who controlled the Matanzas artillery in two innings, got the win.
Tuesday will conclude the elimination phase of round-robin play and the semifinals will be decided.
Mexico and Venezuela will face each other in the first round and in the second round the Matanzas and the Elite League All-Stars, the only undefeated team.
Between those two games will be the final of the home run derby, in which the Venezuelans Juan Carlos Torres and Jose Tello and the Cubans Rafael Viñales and Yordanis Samon will compete.
