This Sunday, the Cocodrilos de Matanzas led an 11-hit party starting in the sixth inning against Las Tunas, winning 10-2 and taking a 2-0 lead in the bilateral semifinal duel of the II Cuban Elite Baseball League.

The Yumurinos of mentor Armando Ferrer had been tied up by the right-handed Yadián Martínez, who had not allowed them any hits during five innings.

But in the sixth inning, when they had already seen him for the third time, they produced a decisive five-strikeout cluster to the Mayabechense reinforcement, with four hits, including a home run by Yurisbel Gracial, who had an excellent tournament. In addition, they took advantage of two of the three errors committed by the Leñadores.

For the Saurios, their starter Yordanis Samón and center fielder Rusney Castillo, who both went 4-2 with a tow per capita, were also outstanding.

Fifth win of the season for right-handed reliever Frank Luis Medina, who, far from his usual fastball, was able to control his deliveries and pitched 3.0 innings at a rate of two singles.

This Monday will be a transfer day to return to the field on Tuesday at the Julio Antonio Mella stadium, where the Crocodiles will be looking for the remaining two runs to reach the final.

The other semifinal game on Sunday was rained out in the fourth inning when the local team Artemisa defeated Industriales 7-1.
