The ximum historical winner of titles and the leader of the current regular season will face each other starting Saturday in an unprecedented final in Cuban baseball series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Industriales made it to the title game after beating Santiago de Cuba in seven games, while Las Tunas eliminated Matanzas in the semifinals in six games (4-2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The capital’s Leones are seeking their 13th crown and return to a final since the 51st tournament (2011-2012) when they lost to Ciego de Avila in five games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The last time the Blue Lions won the title was in the 49th season (2009-2010), an epic playoff in which they came from behind to win the series against Villa Clara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They will now face Los Le\u00f1adores Tuneros, leaders in the preliminary phase, who eliminated Ciego de Avila in the quarterfinals by sweep (4-0) and then left Matanzas out of the podium in six games.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Las Tunas treasures one title, won in the 58th fair (2018-2019) when it defeated Villa Clara 4-1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since becoming champion, the Tunas team has not returned to a final, always victims of Matanzas in the playoffs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The only time that Las Tunas and Industriales met in the postseason was in the 2017-2018 semifinal, a series dominated by the Le\u00f1adores, who won in seven games at the Julio Antonio Mella stadium in the eastern city, where the final will start on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
