And on their visit to the Nueva Gerona stadium, the Hurricanes of mentor Michael Gonzalez counted on the monticular jewel of the stellar right-hander Marlon Vega, who threw a complete game with eight strikeouts and only three hits, without conceding a ticket, to sign his fourth victory without the shadow of a setback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At bat, Yasniel Gonz\u00e1lez hit 2-2 and drove in a run for Mayabeque, which showed offensive unproductivity by leaving 11 runners on base because they failed to take advantage of nine hits and 11 bases on balls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hurricanes are now 31-21 and maintain a half-game lead over national runner-up Matanzas (31-22), which today won its fourth successive victory over Cienfuegos at 5 de Septiembre Park, where they came out on top 7-3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sixth smile for left-hander Naykel Cruz, who in 6.1 innings allowed only two singles and gave six strikeouts, but gave up four tickets. Second save for fast right-hander Armando Due\u00f1as. Outfielder Jos\u00e9 Prens and infielders An\u00edbal Medina and Mois\u00e9s Esquerres each drove in two runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In other results, Camag\u00fcey beat Industriales 7-4, Sancti Sp\u00edritus 12-6 against Ciego de \u00c1vila and Villa Clara 11-3 against Holgu\u00edn.
