Cuban Baseball Series: Leader Matanzas Continues to Accumulate Records

Cuban Baseball Series: Leader Matanzas Continues to Accumulate RecordsHAVANA, Cuba, Oct 7 (acn) After completion of the first stage of the 56th Cuban baseball championship, the leader, Matanzas, closed the qualifying stage with a balance of 40 wins and only 3 losses, a performance very difficult to beat for many years.

The Crocodiles can still improve this balance, as they still have to play two pending matches versus Holguin and Guantanamo, both suspended by rain on the official schedule.
But in case of losing these two games, they would achieve a total of 40-5, a record also hard to reach, even for themselves in future campaigns of Cuba's favorite pastime.
Matanzas won the 15 qualifying series, another national record, including 9 sweeps over Mayabeque, Artemisa, Isla de la Juventud, Cienfuegos, Villa Clara, Camaguey, Las Tunas, Granma and Santiago de Cuba.
This amount could go up to 11 in case of winning the 2 pending matches since they are leading 2-0 this particular series.
Only Pinar del Rio, Ciego de Avila and Industriales had the honor of beating Matanzas, although they were all defeated 2-1 in their particular series by the Crocodiles.
The offensive highlights of the squad managed for six consecutive years by charismatic coach Victor Mesa went to third baseman Jefferson Delgado, BA leader of the contest, DH and first baseman Yordanis Samon, outfielder Ariel Sanchez, second baseman Anibal Medina, centerfielder Victor Victor Mesa, first baseman Yasiel Santoya, catcher Ariel Martinez and outfielder Eduardo Blanco.
Meanwhile, the leading pitchers were starters Yoanni Yera, Jonder Martínez and Yoandry Ruiz, relievers Adrian Sosa and Alexander Bustamante and closer Alexander Rodriguez.
This remarkable performance by Matanzas deserved being chosen to host the All-Star Game that will be held at Victoria de Giron Stadium in that city, 100 kilometers east of Havana.
The Cuban Baseball Commission reported that besides the game between Western and Eastern Stars, scheduled for October 23rd, the traditional skill competitions and a match between veterans will take place a day before.
