Nine hits in two games isn’t enough; that is why Artemisa failed in the attempt to relight the tobacco of the Pinar del Río lands. Without fire it is not possible. The Vegueros didn’t hit much more either, but it was enough to score both wins.
In the first meeting, Geonel Gutiérrez walked the seven innings with five strikeouts, two walks, one wild pitch and three singles. An outstanding job that brought just a dirty run to his rivals! And with that the green-legged won.
Branlis Rodríguez contained the Cazadores for four and two-thirds innings, and Orisbel Borges took care of the rest. Between them they allowed four hits, walked one and struck out seven.
In the other challenge, the hosts made runs right at the start of the second episode.
Dayron Calero exploded after supporting a single, double, another line and giving away a bowleto, with which one entered and the bases were full. So, Geomar Núñez took the mound. He got one out but couldn’t stop them from scoring two more, giving up a walk and hitting a pitch before forcing a third into a double play.
From there, Geomar managed to not allow any more entries, only that the damage was already done.
The Hunters hit just five hits. They produced two runs in the fifth inning, which also entered for a ticket to Rodmy Proenza and a pitch to Osbel Pacheco, with the bases loaded. And nothing more.
Of course you can’t always win. However, today the artemisa bats fell silent; tomorrow will be another day, and I hope they wake up.
Now Yulieski González’s boys drop to third place in the 62nd National Baseball Series, one game from the top, behind Mayabeque (leader) and Matanzas (in the middle).
