Pinar del R\u00edo relied on a 17-hit offense to beat Sancti Sp\u00edritus 10-8 and retain the top spot in the National Baseball Series.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although they made four errors on defense, the Vegueros de Pinar had the eleventh home run from slugger Yaser Julio Gonz\u00e1lez on Thursday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The long-range hitter went 3-for-5 with three RBIs to reach 41, like his teammate William Saavedra.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yaser and Saavedra were one behind leader Eduardo Garc\u00eda, who hit his ninth home run and scored two in Santiago de Cuba’s 6-3 victory against Ciego de \u00c1vila.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The six runs of the Santiago Wasps were billed by home runs by Garc\u00eda, Euclides P\u00e9rez and the first in the national series by Yoel Yanqui, all with a runner on base.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was the first smile for Yoendris Montero and the fifth save for the supersonic closer Reynaldo \u00c1lvarez, with deliveries of 94 miles per hour.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The champion Las Tunas painted Villa Clara white 5-0 with the third victory of rookie Leandro Ca\u00f1ada, who barely allowed one hit in 5.2 innings, although he walked six.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For the Lumberjacks from Las Tunas, who paid 11 hits and left the same number of runners on base, Yosvani Alarc\u00f3n, who hit 2-for-3 with a pair of doubles, stood out. Rafael Vi\u00f1ales drove in two runs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Granma defeated Artemisa 6-1 with the fourth victory without defeats for the experienced left-hander Leandro Mart\u00ednez and Guant\u00e1namo gave Industriales a 12-2 knockout, with the eleventh homer by Over Cremet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the remaining results, Cienfuegos defeated Camag\u00fcey 2×0, Matanzas 10×3 against Isla de la Juventud and Holgu\u00edn 4×3 against Mayabeque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pinar del R\u00edo advances comfortably at the top with a balance of 25-10, followed by Las Tunas (19-11), Granma (21-14), Ciego de \u00c1vila (20-15), Camag\u00fcey, Industriales and Santiago de Cuba (20 -16), in the first positions.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
