The Artemisa team will seek revenge here today against the Matanzas team in the second day of the playoff for the gold medal of the Cuban winter baseball league.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will be a duel between right-handers Raymond Figueredo (ART) and Yoel Mogena (MTZ), confirmed by both managers, who praised the performance of their respective teams in the opening game of the final series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The so-called Cazadores lost yesterday, 6-5, in one of the most thrilling games played in the entire championship, defined in the eighth inning by the home run of young Jos\u00e9 Amaury Noro\u00f1a, his second of the post-season and tenth in the tournament.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to Noro\u00f1a, third baseman Yurisbel Gracial hit a two-run home run that eventually evened the score in the fifth inning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It resulted in Gracial’s fifth home run since the playoffs began, ratifying her league-leading 13 home runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The game featured sensational plays to the outfield on both sides, although the Artemise\u00f1os committed three costly errors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among the good catches was one by bartender Yordan Manduley in the eighth inning that prevented several runs by the Cazadores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For many experts, that pitching turned the game around by preventing the visitors from getting ahead on the scoreboard, in addition to boosting the spirits of the Matanzas team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Closer Armando Due\u00f1as got the last five outs and scored the victory, while Jos\u00e9 Ignacio Berm\u00fadez suffered the setback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Left-handed starters Yoannis Yera (5.0IP, 4CL, 8H, 2K, 1BB) and Geonel Guti\u00e9rrez (6.0IP, 3CL, 7H, 2K, 1BB) left the game close.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
With one out left, Luis Gonz\u00e1lez hit a single, then Day\u00e1n Garc\u00eda received a ticket and the stage was set for Frederich Cepeda to leave everyone in the stands breathless with a hit caught in the depths of left field.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both mentors, the experienced Armando Ferrer and the rookie Yulieski Gonz\u00e1lez, agreed that the rivalry will continue to mark the championship series.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
