HAVANA, Cuba, Sep 20 (acn) The match between Matanzas, leader, and Holguin, third seat of the standings, stands out today in the continuation of the Cuban baseball championship in its 56th edition.
The Matanzas Crocodiles swept Santiago de Cuba in its latest subseries to ratify themselves on top of the standings with spectacular balance of 30 wins and just three losses, nine games ahead of its closest pursuer, the current monarch of Ciego de Avila (21-12).
In contrast, Holguin suffered a thunderous sweep by the surprising squad of Guantanamo and fell to the third seat, now with balance of 19-11, so they will seek at least one win against the nearly invincible Matanzas to slow its downward trend.
The Ciego de Avila Tigers will have a clear opportunity to consolidate their second spot when visiting Mayabeque (8-21), while Villa Clara (17-11) will seek to remain fourth when receiving Santiago de Cuba (11-21).
In pursuit of continue climbing positions and immersed in a streak of four consecutive wins, Guantánamo (19-14) will visit Sancti Spiritus (8-24), while Industriales (16-16) will try to take advantage of its clash against Artemisa (12-21) for its inclusion in the qualifying zone.
Camagüey (18-14) will star in an interesting match against the current runner-up, Pinar del Rio (10-17), team relegated to 12th seat in the standings and already with few options to opt for one of the tickets to the elite stage of the national baseball classic.
The rest of the subseries of the Cuban baseball championship for Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday are Las Tunas (16-15) -Cienfuegos (14-19) and Granma (17-15) –Isla de la Juventud (14-16), always at home of those mentioned first.
